AmmPower Corp. revealed production of the first laboratory quantities of ammonia at its recently opened, flagship Manufacturing & Development Facility in southeast Michigan.

AmmPower, with its core team of engineers and scientists, has initiated the process of development and validation of new catalyst technologies and production processes for synthesizing ammonia as well as breaking new ground in the field of decomposition or “cracking” of ammonia to release hydrogen. This work supports AmmPower’s objective to supply green ammonia producing units for agricultural applications and major green ammonia production facilities to the maritime industry. In addition, AmmPower’s innovative ammonia “cracking” technology will allow hydrogen to be more easily transported as ammonia and then released at the point of use.

 "Today represents a huge step forward in the advancement of AmmPower into the renewable energy world," said Rene Bharti, AmmPower President said. "This first step is crucial towards the end goal of production of a unique, scalable and economic green ammonia solution for our customers in the agricultural and maritime world. Furthermore, this breakthrough allows the work being done on ‘cracking’ of ammonia lead by Dr. Zhenyu Zhang to move forward at an escalated pace."
