Moving into Singapore Amogy has appointed Svein Erik Oeiestad, most recently Regional Sales Manager for Hans Jensen Lubricants, as its Head of Business Development and Sales in the region.
Amogy aims to unlock the potential of ammonia as a zero carbon fuel with its proprietary ammonia-cracking technology.
"With our sights set on reducing overall global carbon emissions, we're thrilled to expand our presence in Asia," said Seonghoon Woo, CEO & co-founder of Amogy. "Singapore is a major player in the international shipping industry, and we're excited to be more closely involved in the progress being made around clean energy adoption here."
Last year Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the Singapore Energy Market Authority (EMA) launched an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to build, own and operate low or zero-carbon power generation and bunkering projects on Jurong Island in the city state.
“We're encouraged by recent regulatory efforts in Singapore and the exploration of ammonia as a source of power," said Oeiestad. "We share the MPA and EMA's belief in ammonia as an efficient hydrogen carrier and look forward to partnering with the government and private sector in order to make clean ammonia power a reality for maritime shipping and power generation."
Amogy also has a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Singapore-listed offshore marine player Marco Polo Marine to install its ammonia to power system on the companies offshore wind vessels
