Amogy and Amun Energy Sign Supply Agreement for 40 MW Ammonia-to-Power Project in South Korea

Amogy has signed a supply agreement with Amun Energy, a subsidiary of GS Engineering & Construction (GS E&C), to support the development of a commercial-scale 40 MW ammonia-based power generation project in Pohang, South Korea.

Under the agreement, Amogy will provide its ammonia-to-power systems for the distributed power generation project, which will initially be deployed as a 1 MW pilot installation before being expanded to 40 MW of ammonia-based power generation capacity by 2029.

The agreement marks a significant step forward in the commercialization of ammonia-based power generation technology in South Korea and builds on the companies’ previously announced pilot project in Pohang. It establishes the framework for the phased expansion of the facility toward full commercial operations over the coming years.

The project forms part of Amun Energy’s strategy to accelerate the deployment of ammonia-based distributed power generation solutions across South Korea. Ammonia is increasingly being explored as a carbon-free energy carrier capable of supporting large-scale power generation and energy storage applications.

Amogy’s proprietary ammonia cracking technology converts ammonia into hydrogen, which is then used to generate carbon-free electricity for stationary and distributed power applications. The company believes the technology can provide a scalable solution for meeting growing demand for reliable clean energy.

According to the companies, the Pohang project is expected to serve as a model for future ammonia-to-power developments by demonstrating a viable pathway from pilot-scale deployment to commercial operation.

Commenting on the development, Amogy CEO Seonghoon Woo said growing demand for scalable carbon-free energy solutions is driving interest in ammonia as a practical fuel for power generation. He noted that the partnership with Amun Energy creates a commercial pathway for expanding ammonia-based distributed power generation in South Korea.

Amun Energy CEO Ki Tae Kim stated that the phased deployment in Pohang establishes a foundation for the long-term adoption of ammonia-powered electricity generation and supports the company’s objective of scaling the technology into commercial infrastructure projects.

The project highlights South Korea’s continued efforts to advance its hydrogen and ammonia economy while supporting the deployment of next-generation low-carbon energy infrastructure. It also underscores the increasing role of ammonia as a potential carbon-free fuel in the global energy transition.
