ABOUT
Our History
Since the foundation in late 2019, Amon Maritime has seen massive growth and development towards becoming the World’s first carbon free shipping company.
ABOUT AMON MARITIME
Powering the green shift in shipping
Amon Maritime was founded on the idea that ammonia fuel will propel the zero emission shipping revolution. We are a maritime project development company, working with leading technology, commercial, and financial partners, to realize the first ammonia – powered ships – and thus realize our vision of creating the World’s first carbon free shipping company.
Ammonia as a marine fuel
Technology
Ammonia, NH3, does not contain carbon, and will therefore not release any CO2 into the atmosphere when utilized to generate power. As a zero carbon fuel, ammonia can be produced by combining water, air and renewable energy, and is therefore highly scalable. This is commonly referred to as «green ammonia». Another promising production method is combining natural gas feedstock with carbon capture and storage technology, stopping the carbon separated from the natural gas at the production site, and safely storing it – commonly referred to as «blue ammonia».
Compared to other zero carbon fuels, ammonia is preferable due to the relative ease of storage and handling, cost, low explosivity, scalability and superior volumetric energy density. Key challenges to be overcome by technical barriers and safety measures are high toxicity and corrosivity. Initially, zero carbon ammonia will be offered at a cost premium compared to MGO and other conventional marine fuels. In time, we expect zero carbon ammonia to compete successfully on cost.
Our fleet will be powered by ammonia, the most promising zero carbon fuel for the future. The ships are designed with a high focus on safety, creating technical and operational barriers to limit the risk to a level similar to conventional ships.
Reciprocating engines will burn ammonia to generate propulsive power, and an exhaust gas aftertreatment system optimized for ammonia will eliminate any byproducts, ensuring that we do not replace CO2 emissions with other harmful pollutants.
Batteries and shore power connection will be included for support, consituting an ammonia-electric hybrid power system, enabling silent maneuvering and cargo operations.
OUR SKILLS
What We Do
Amon Maritime is a maritime project development company, working with leading technology, commercial, and financial partners, to realize the first ammonia-powered ships. We are building a pure zero carbon shipping company, focused on ammonia fuel, offering zero emission ships without sacrificing operational capabilities like range / endurance.
Project Development
We develop zero emission maritime projects and have a mission to lead the green shift in shipping . We take a holistic approach to ship technology, bunkering logistics, business cases and financing. As we have no existing fleet on the water needing protection – there is no innovators dilemma for building a zero emission fleet with scale.
Bunkering Infrastructure Technology
Our bunkering technology company Azane Fuel Solutions develops technology for safe and efficient storage and bunkering of ammonia fuel. Through collaboration across the entire value chain from production to consumption onboard a ship, we help de-risk and commercialize ammonia fuel for ships.
