Amogy, a provider of mature, scalable, and efficient
ammonia-to-power solutions, announced today an order from Terox to
deploy Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power system to generate
electricity on construction sites. This collaboration will position
Terox as a leader in zero-carbon electricity production in
construction and will mark a significant step towards sustainable
energy solutions for Norway’s construction industry.
The pilot project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of
ammonia-based power systems for stationary power generation at
construction sites, which have historically relied on
heavy-polluting diesel generators or grid connections. This
initiative not only showcases Terox as a trailblazer in
decarbonizing a traditionally hard-to-abate sector but also
highlights the potential of ammonia as an alternative fuel for a
cleaner future, made possible by Amogy’s technology.
Amogy’s 400 kW containerized solution will be installed in a
20ft container, which generates off-grid electricity to charge a
battery bank. This battery bank then connects to a mobile
supercharger that charges Terox’s fleet of electric heavy-duty
construction vehicles.
Amogy’s ammonia-to-electrical power system utilizes proprietary
ammonia cracking technology to split ammonia into its base elements
of hydrogen and nitrogen and then funnels the hydrogen into the
fuel cell to generate clean electricity to charge the battery
banks. Unlike traditional combustion engines, Amogy’s technology
produces zero carbon emissions at the point of use, marking a
significant breakthrough in sustainable power generation.
"We are excited to be a part of this pilot project," says Kjell
Vidar Hamre, Managing Director at Terox. "Together with Amogy, we
are looking forward to showcasing the viability of ammonia-based
power systems and contributing to the decarbonization of the
construction industry."
Christian Berg, Managing Director at Amogy, expressed his
enthusiasm at the opportunity of working with Terox. “We are
delighted to be working together with Terox, a company that shares
our vision and values, on this first-of-a-kind project in
Norway.”
Demonstration of this project will pave the way for broader
adoption of Amogy's technology across Terox operations, aligning
with the company's emissions reduction goals and leading the way on
industry changing sustainability efforts.
