Technology

Ammonia-to-power conversion.

Amogy’s patented ammonia cracking technology converts ammonia into hydrogen, creating a pathway to power generation and hydrogen applications.

How it works

From ammonia to hydrogen.

Amogy’s technology uses catalytic cracking to split ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, providing hydrogen or hydrogen-rich fuel for downstream energy applications.

  1. Ammonia supply

    Liquid ammonia is supplied from a storage tank to the reformer.

  2. Catalytic cracking

    Amogy’s catalyst splits ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, producing a hydrogen-rich gas known as reformate.

  3. Hydrogen output

    The reformate supplies hydrogen for downstream applications, with gas treatment matched to the equipment’s requirements.

Amogy reformer: liquid ammonia from storage is cracked into hydrogen, which runs an engine or, after purification, a fuel cell to produce electricity

For power applications

An engine-generator or fuel cell converts the hydrogen into electricity, depending on the configuration.

Benefits

What the technology enables.

Amogy’s conversion technology provides the foundation for modular energy systems designed around practical deployment, operation and growth.

Convert ammonia efficiently

Our catalyst enables ammonia cracking at low operating temperatures, producing hydrogen-rich fuel for downstream use.

Bring hydrogen to the point of demand

Use transportable liquid ammonia as the carrier, then convert it where your operation needs power or hydrogen.

Support your carbon goals

Ammonia contains no carbon. Power generation from ammonia is carbon-free at the point of use, with lifecycle emissions determined by how the fuel is produced and transported.

From technology demonstration to integrated power system.

In August 2026, Amogy and 2G Energy successfully completed integrated testing of Amogy’s ammonia reformer with a 2G engine-generator in Houston.

During testing, the reformer supplied hydrogen-rich fuel to the engine-generator, validating the fuel-delivery interface, controls and integrated operation.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How does Amogy’s ammonia cracking technology work?

Our catalyst splits ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen. The resulting hydrogen-rich gas can fuel power-generation equipment or support other hydrogen applications, depending on the configuration.

Does the reformer produce electricity?

No. It performs the conversion from ammonia to hydrogen-rich fuel. A separate engine-generator or fuel cell produces electricity. Engine-based systems involve combustion.

Why transport ammonia rather than hydrogen?

Ammonia carries hydrogen in liquid form and benefits from established industrial transport and storage infrastructure. The right fuel pathway depends on your location, supply arrangements and application.

Can the technology supply high-purity hydrogen?

Yes. The AMMDrive™ AH Series is designed to produce high-purity hydrogen (above 99.97%, ISO 14687:2019 Grade D). Hydrogen quality, gas treatment and downstream integration must be assessed for the specific application.

Has the technology been demonstrated?

Yes. Amogy has demonstrated systems from a 5 kW drone to the 1 MW NH₃ Kraken tugboat. Integrated reformer and engine-generator testing with 2G Energy followed in 2026.

Is ammonia safe to use as a fuel?

Ammonia has a long history of industrial use, supported by established handling practices, infrastructure and regulation. As with other industrial fuels, safe use depends on appropriate equipment, procedures and training.
