Norway´s ammonia bunkering firm Azane Fuel Solutions will explore the technical and commercial feasibility of using Amogy´s ammonia-to-power system on board its bunker vessel concept.
Azane and ammonia-to-power technology provider Amogy will also explore the technical and commercial feasibility of using an Azane ammonia fuel feeder solution integrated into the Amogy power system.
Having developed an ammonia fuel bunker vessel concept with a complete ammonia cargo handling system, Azane revealed that it is now looking for solutions to enable carbon free propulsion of the ammonia bunker vessel.
When fully developed, Azane plans to offer the ammonia bunker vessels to ports such as Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Singapore or other key ports.
“The reason for providing an ammonia bunker vessel is to help decarbonize the shipping industry,” said Håkon Skjerstad, chief executive of Azane Fuel Solutions. “Because of this, we need a zero-emission solution to provide propulsion to our vessels.”
He added that Amogy´s technology can help the company reach its target of offering zero-emission bunker solutions for deep sea shipping.
The MoU agreement signed by Azane and Amogy aims to help decarbonize the larger seagoing vessels and ultimately the deep-sea segment, as the partners claim.
“By using our technology, Azane Fuel Solutions can deliver clean ammonia to ships globally with zero emissions from the bunkering operation. This will be a first of its kind for this segment,” noted Christian W. Berg, managing director, Amogy Norway.
