Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star), they plan to launch hydrogen-based ammonia pilot projects on Jurong Island.

Singapore hosts several grey hydrogen plants, mainly on Jurong Island, according to GWGI data. Ammonia cracking could offer a lower-carbon alternative to today’s grey hydrogen plants by enabling the use of imported low-carbon ammonia as feedstock.

A*Star will mainly provide expertise in safety, standards, cost and sustainability assessments, and technology development, while Amogy will supply its ammonia cracking system.

Together, they will explore joint R&D on catalysts for cracking ammonia into hydrogen for electricity generation and develop digital tools and training to support integration and scale-up.

One focus is Singapore’s data centres, with their heavy and fast-growing energy demands.

“This collaboration marks an important step toward advancing decarbonisation in critical sectors such as data centres and heavy industry, while contributing to Singapore’s leadership in driving towards a low-carbon future,” explained Amogy CEO Seonghoon Woo.

The initiative supports Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and National Hydrogen Strategy. The government positions low-carbon hydrogen as a key decarbonisation tool, backed by investments in research, infrastructure, and international supply partnerships.

H2 View understands that one green hydrogen plant is already operational in Singapore, with another under evaluation on the island.
