Amogy launches operations in Norway

Emission-free, ammonia power solutions provider Amogy, has announced the opening of its Norway operations, hiring Christian Berg as managing director. Berg joins Amogy Norway from Yara Clean Ammonia, a decarbonisation-focused subsidiary of leading global ammonia producer, Yara International ASA.

Berg will be responsible for accelerating Amogy’s effort in commercialising its ammonia-to-power technology with partners in Scandinavian countries. Norway, known as a renewable energy and global shipping leader, has the advanced infrastructure necessary to make ammonia a viable fuel source for cargo ships as well as an ecosystem that presents strategic commercial partnership opportunities for Amogy.

‘Norway and its forward-thinking maritime industry recognised the immense opportunity that ammonia presents as a green fuel, which gave the country a head start in establishing the needed infrastructure, so it only makes sense for Amogy to establish a significant presence here,’ says Seonghoon Woo, CEO of Amogy.

Norway is driving the green energy transition and is already developing ammonia refuelling stations for ships. In February 2021, it was announced that the country would house Europe’s first large-scale green ammonia project, making it an ideal second home for Amogy.
