Amogy launches first ammonia-powered tugboat

摘要

Brooklyn-based Amogy has scored another first by modifying a 1957-vintage tug to run on liquid ammonia. The tug already had an electric drive system using diesel generators and electric motors. Amogy will replace the diesels by retrofitting a 1 MW ammonia generator It will be using a cracking reactor to split ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen, then running the hydrogen through a fuel cell to create electricity and feed the electric motors.
