A tripartite collaboration has been launched to develop and commercialize a 1 MW-class ammonia-to-power system for vessels, designed to replace conventional marine diesel generators as it converts ammonia into hydrogen, which powers proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) to produce electricity without combustion.
The joint development project (JDP) has been established by South Korea-based VINSSEN , a maritime specialist in hydrogen fuel cells and integrated system solutions, South Korean shipbuilding major Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI), and U.S. ammonia-to-power solutions provider Amogy .
