Amogy and Southern Devall, a company that specialises in moving bulk liquid chemicals and fertilisers, have agreed on a strategic collaboration and technology deployment project.
Under the agreement, Amogy’s ammonia-to-power system will be integrated into a tank barge for the first time, enabling the commercial debut of Amogy’s technology in the maritime sector.

The partnership with Southern Devall will give Amogy access to major ammonia infrastructure. It will also allow Southern Devall to highlight the technology’s scalable feature for inland barge applications.
Used in fuel cells, Amogy’s ammonia-to-power system converts ammonia into hydrogen.
Since achieving operational validation in a tractor and a drone, the technology is being developed for use in ships and ammonia bunkering barges to support net zero goals.
In this regard, the two parties have commenced work for the first deployment of the technology. The project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
