World's First Ammonia-Powered Tugboat Completes Maiden Voyage

Amogy's NH3 Kraken demonstrates the viability of zero-emission maritime technology on the Hudson River.

Amogy's NH3 Kraken, a retrofitted 67-year-old tugboat, successfully sailed using a carbon-free ammonia power system.
The demonstration marks a significant step toward decarbonizing the maritime industry, aligning with the IMO's 2050 net-zero emissions target.
Amogy's technology splits green ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, using the hydrogen in a fuel cell to generate electricity without carbon emissions.
Ammonia is seen as a promising alternative fuel due to its high energy density and existing global infrastructure for handling and transport.
Amogy is collaborating with major shipbuilders like Hanwha Ocean and HD Hyundai to further develop ammonia-powered maritime vessels.
