Announced at the Argus Clean Ammonia Europe Conference, Azane Fuel Solutions and Amogy have agreed to explore the technical and financial viability of utilising Amogy’s ammonia-to-power technology on an Azane developed bunker vessel concept with the signing of an MoU. The partnership will also investigate the viability from a technical and business standpoint of integrating an Azane ammonia fuel feeder solution into the Amogy power system.
Azane has created a concept for a fuel bunker vessel that can handle ammonia cargo in its entirety. The ammonia bunker vessel’s carbon-free propulsion is currently being sought after by the company. When Azane has finished the development, it intends to provide the ammonia bunker vessels to major ports including Singapore, Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Antwerp.
The goal of Amogy’s ammonia-to-power technology is to decarbonize industries that are difficult to regulate, such as heavy-duty transportation, power generating, and shipping. The new bunker vessel will be able to achieve zero emissions without sacrificing operational or safety standards thanks to Amogy’s approach.
Amogy and Azane will begin investigating how effectively their separate technologies work together as well as the possibility of profit from the combined solutions. The intention is to work collaboratively on a later pilot project to develop the ammonia-to-power bunker vessel for use in commercial applications.
“We are excited to announce the collaboration with Azane Fuel Solutions on their bunker vessel project. By using our technology, Azane Fuel Solutions can deliver clean ammonia to ships globally with zero emissions from the bunkering operation. This will be a first of its kind for this segment.”
Christian W. Berg, Managing Director at Amogy Norway.
“The reason for providing an ammonia bunker vessel is to help decarbonize the shipping industry. Because of this, we need a zero-emission solution to provide propulsion to our vessels. Amogy has a promising technology that can help us reach our strategic ambition of offering zero-emission bunker solutions for deep sea shipping.”
Håkon Skjerstad, CEO of Azane Fuel Solutions.
