Amogy, Samsung Heavy Industries Partner to Manufacture Ammonia Power Systems

Amogy and Samsung Heavy Industries have formalized a multi year contract manufacturing partnership to produce Amogy’s ammonia to power systems, the companies disclosed in a joint release. Under the agreement, Samsung Heavy Industries will establish a dedicated facility in South Korea to produce and test the systems, beginning with equipment required for Amogy’s pilot project planned in Pohang in 2026.

The arrangement couples Amogy’s modular ammonia to power technology with the manufacturing scale and engineering experience of one of the world’s largest shipbuilders. For Amogy, which has positioned itself as a provider of scalable ammonia to power solutions, the partnership marks a step from development toward commercial manufacturing and deployment. For Samsung Heavy Industries, the agreement signals a strategic move to capture manufacturing work tied to low carbon fuels and power systems, sectors that are expected to grow as industrial decarbonization accelerates.

Economically, the announcement has several immediate implications. Creating a dedicated production and testing site in South Korea ties high value manufacturing activity to local supply chains and could support upstream demand for fabrication, electrical subsystems, and testing services. The multi year contract provides visibility on production volumes and revenue for the manufacturing partner, while helping Amogy reduce technical and delivery risk as it prepares for its Pohang pilot in 2026. The pilot will serve as a critical demonstration for investors, regulators, and potential industrial customers assessing the viability of ammonia as an energy vector.

From a market perspective, ammonia is increasingly considered a leading candidate for decarbonizing hard to electrify sectors, including long distance shipping and industrial power generation. Ammonia itself contains no carbon, which allows for energy provision without direct carbon dioxide emissions at the point of use, though nitrogen oxide emissions and lifecycle production emissions remain policy and engineering challenges. The partnership between a technology provider and an established heavy industry manufacturer reflects a broader trend: scaling low carbon fuels requires integration of device makers, constructors, and industrial fabrication capacity.

Policy context in South Korea supports such commercial moves. Seoul has pursued industrial strategies and subsidies to develop hydrogen and ammonia value chains as part of its net zero by 2050 goals, and the shipbuilding sector is seeking new revenue streams as traditional markets evolve. A domestic manufacturing facility positions Korea to capture export opportunities as countries and companies seek ammonia compatible power solutions.

Longer term, the deal could help set standards for modular production of ammonia to power systems, lowering unit costs through repeatable manufacturing and testing processes. If the Pohang pilot validates performance and regulatory compliance, the next stage will be scaling production and securing commercial customers in maritime, onshore power, and industrial backup markets. For investors and policymakers watching the energy transition, the partnership is an early but important indicator that the commercialization phase for ammonia based power technologies is moving beyond laboratory demonstrations into industrial scale manufacturing.
