Amogy successfully sails ammonia-powered vessel down the Hudson

Amogy has recorded the “world’s first” voyage of a hydrogen-based ammonia-powered maritime vessel, the NH3 Kraken.

The tugboat, originally constructed in 1957 and retrofitted with Amogy’s ammonia-to-electric power system, sailed on a tributary of the Hudson River, upstream from New York City in the US.

Amogy’s technology cracks the liquid ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen, with the latter then funnelled into a fuel cell to generate power with zero emissions. During this demonstration, green ammonia was used to further reduce the carbon footprint.

The operation is expected to be applied by Amogy to “real-world applications of this technology,” such as retrofit projects and new builds. The Brooklyn-based firm plans to release a case study providing additional technical details soon.
