Ammonia-to-power partnership

Amogy Inc., a pioneer of emission-free, energy-dense ammonia power solutions, has announced a strategic partnership and technology deployment project with Southern Devall of Sulphur, La., formerly Southern Towing Co. and Devall Towing. Southern Devall specializes in transporting bulk liquid chemicals and fertilizer products throughout the Mississippi River and Gulf Intracoastal Waterway System. With the integration of Amogy technology in a tank barge, for the first time, the collaboration will facilitate the commercial debut of Amogy’s ammonia-to-power technology in the global maritime market. Southern Devall currently services a significant portion of the ammonia production market and delivers ammonia to terminals for export and agricultural and chemical customers along U.S. inland waterways. Amogy’s ammonia-to-power system converts ammonia into hydrogen for use in fuel cells or for more energy dense method of long-distance hydrogen transportation. The partnership will provide Amogy with access to vast ammonia infrastructure and Southern Devall's expertise in handling ammonia and maritime operations.  The duo has initiated work on their first technology deployment, a retrofit of a barge that is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2023. Following the demonstration, Amogy and Southern Devall plan to pursue retrofits of additional barges and tugboats, creating an ammonia-powered fleet. In the U.S., the inland shipping sector is responsible for an estimated 6.2 tons of CO2 emissions each year.  (Work Boat 11/03/22) Southern Devall, Amogy partner to bring ammonia-to-power technology to the marine industry | WorkBoat
