ABS and Liberian Registry grant AiP for next-gen ammonia carrier design by HD Hyundai and Capital Gas integrated with Amogy’s ammonia-powered technology
07 June 2024
The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and the Liberian Registry are both granting approval in principle (AiP) to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and Capital Gas Ship Management (Capital Gas) for a very large ammonia carrier (VLAC) design. This vessel design features the integration of Amogy’s carbon-free ammonia-to-electrical power system.
Amogy, ABS, the Liberian Registry, HHI, and Capital Gas joined forces to design a 93K CBM ammonia carrier with Amogy’s technology providing ~1400 kW of auxiliary power equivalent to a diesel generator.
Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power system cracks liquid ammonia into its base elements of hydrogen and nitrogen, which then funnels the hydrogen into a fuel cell, generating high-performance power without carbon emissions.
For these AiPs, ABS and the Liberian Registry have confirmed the feasibility of Amogy’s technology as per relevant regulatory guidelines for deployment onboard a very large ammonia carrier.
