Amogy and HD KSOE join forces to propel ammonia power in shipping

In Germany during the SMM trade fair in Hamburg, South Korea’s HD KSOE EcoPhin and U.S.-based Amogy announced a new partnership to advance ammonia-powered solutions in the maritime sector. This collaboration will focus on integrating HD KSOE EcoPhin’s eco-friendly propulsion systems with Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power technology, aiming to provide a turn-key solution for the electrification of vessels.

By combining HD KSOE EcoPhin’s propulsion expertise with Amogy’s ammonia “cracking” system—which splits ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen for carbon-free power generation—the partnership aims to optimize the performance and sustainability of maritime energy systems. Both companies will explore further opportunities for collaboration to accelerate the adoption of ammonia as a clean fuel.

“PEM fuel cell will be one of the main power sources in the near future, especially for small and medium sized vessels. So we are pleased to have a powerful partner, Amogy,” said Jongkuk Park, COO of HD KSOE EcoPhin.
