Amogy, A*STAR Partner To Advance Ammonia-To-Power Technologies In Singapore

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 (Bernama) -- Amogy, a United States-based ammonia-to-power technology firm, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) to jointly develop and scale clean ammonia-based energy systems in support of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and National Hydrogen Strategy.

“This collaboration marks an important step toward advancing decarbonisation in critical sectors such as data centres, while supporting Singapore’s low-carbon ambitions,” said Amogy chief executive officer, Seonghoon Woo.

Meanwhile, A*STAR Assistant Chief Executive, Science and Engineering Research Council, Professor Lim Keng Hui said it aims to help decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors by advancing ammonia technologies for power generation and bunkering.

According to a statement, the collaboration will explore pilot deployments of Amogy’s proprietary ammonia-to-power systems on Jurong Island, focusing on applications in energy-intensive sectors like data centres and heavy industry.

The initiative also includes joint research and development (R&D) into advanced ammonia-cracking catalysts, development of digital integration tools, and workforce training for large-scale deployment.

Amogy’s technology uses a high-efficiency cracking process to extract hydrogen from ammonia, which is then used in fuel cells or engines to produce zero-carbon electricity — offering a scalable alternative to fossil fuels.

A*STAR will contribute expertise in safety standards, cost assessments, and technology scaling, with an emphasis on real-world validation and commercial readiness.

This collaboration underscores Singapore’s continued investment in clean energy innovation and reinforces its position as a regional hub for low-carbon technologies.
