Amogy and A*STAR Partner on Ammonia-to-Power Technologies in Singapore

Amogy, a developer of ammonia-to-power solutions, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) to advance ammonia-based technologies in line with the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the National Hydrogen Strategy.

The agreement outlines plans to explore the deployment of ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island. A*STAR will contribute expertise in safety and standards, cost and sustainability assessments, and technology development to support scale-up. Amogy will provide its proprietary system that cracks ammonia into hydrogen using advanced catalyst materials, with the hydrogen subsequently converted into electricity through fuel cells or engines.

The partnership is expected to cover three main areas:
• Demonstrating ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island
• Conducting joint research on advanced ammonia-cracking catalyst technologies
• Developing digital tools and workforce training for system integration and commercialization

Both parties aim to validate ammonia-based power solutions under real-world conditions, with an emphasis on their potential application in the data centre sector, which is projected to see significant growth in Singapore.

“We are excited to partner with A*STAR to demonstrate the potential of ammonia-powered technology in Singapore,” said Seonghoon Woo, CEO of Amogy. “This collaboration marks an important step toward advancing decarbonization in critical sectors such as data centers and heavy industry, while contributing to Singapore’s leadership in driving towards a low-carbon future.”

“ASTAR looks forward to our partnership with Amogy to support Singapore’s National Hydrogen Strategy and our own efforts in sustainable energy and chemicals,” said Professor Lim Keng Hui, Assistant Chief Executive, Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), ASTAR. “By advancing technologies for low- or zero-carbon ammonia for power generation and bunkering, we can help pave the way to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries. I look forward to programme outcomes that will contribute substantively to Amogy’s and Singapore’s economic and sustainability goals.”

The collaboration reflects Singapore’s broader strategy to position itself as a hub for low-carbon energy technologies.
