[B2B Marketplace](https://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/chemicals-news/us-amogy-singapore-s-a-star-advance-ammonia-cracking-pilot-314606-newsdetails.htm) reported the agreement with A*STAR and support from the Singapore Economic Development Board.\n\n## Amogy's First Phase at the Jurong Island Testbed\n\nThe agreement sets a defined first phase of pilot testing at the Low-Carbon Technology Translational Testbed, known as LCT3, which is hosted at the A*STAR Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment on Jurong Island. The national facility is intended to bridge laboratory research and commercial deployment so companies can test and scale emerging low-carbon technologies. The project was announced at the Singapore Industry Decarbonisation Forum on October 23, where LCT3 broke ground, and Amogy will be among the first partners undertaking projects there.\n\nUnder the agreement, [Amogy](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00003ml/amogy) will provide its reformer and catalyst technologies and oversee project execution, while collaborating with [A*STAR](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0008t58/a-star) on next-generation, lower-cost catalysts to improve the economics of ammonia-based hydrogen production over time. The deployment is to generate operating data supporting larger-scale ammonia-based hydrogen and power solutions across Singapore's industrial and energy sectors. The work builds on a partnership first announced in September 2025 that set a shared objective to decarbonize sectors including data centers and heavy industry.\n\n\"Singapore is a strategic hub for Amogy's work across Asia-Pacific, where we are strengthening our core R&D capabilities and building our commercial presence,\" said Seonghoon Woo, CEO of Amogy. Professor Lim Keng Hui, Assistant Chief Executive Officer of A*STAR's Science & Engineering Research Council, said real-world testing at LCT3 \"aims to bridge the gap between promising research and industrial adoption.\" Mr Wey-Len Lim, Executive Vice President of the Singapore Economic Development Board, said the collaboration shows how companies can tap Singapore's research capabilities to move low-carbon solutions toward industrial application.\n\nThe project supports the Sustainable Jurong Island initiative and will help assess ammonia-to-hydrogen technology's potential to support low-carbon power for data centers. Singapore's second Data Centre Call for Application required at least 50% of proposed new capacity to be powered through eligible green energy pathways, including low-carbon ammonia and hydrogen.\n\n## Amogy's Funding and Joint Venture Record\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Amogy has raised $315 million since inception, as reported by Maritime Fair Trade on December 11, 2025, following a $15 million strategic investment from GS Engineering & Construction and affiliated investors XPLOR and GS Futures. The same records list eight funding rounds, including a $56 million round in January 2025 led by Aramco Ventures and SV Investment Corp and a $23 million round in July 2025 led by KDB Silicon Valley and Korea Development Bank. In April 2026, Amogy and GS Engineering & Construction signed a joint venture agreement to establish and operate Amun Energy, combining Amogy's ammonia cracking technology with GS E&C's engineering, procurement and construction capabilities, anchored by the 40 MW Pohang project.\n\n## Earlier Ammonia Deals in Asia\n\nAmogy and LOTTE Fine Chemical signed a memorandum of understanding on September 9, 2026, to combine LOTTE's Asian ammonia distribution network with Amogy's hydrogen production technology, Businesskorea reported. In August 2026, Amogy and German engine maker 2G Energy completed an integrated ammonia-to-power test on August 3 at Amogy's Houston facility, using its ammonia reformer to feed a 2G Agenitor 412 reciprocating engine-generator, according to The Times of India. Amogy and KOWA Company announced a partnership in June 2026 to deploy ammonia cracking-based hydrogen supply solutions in Japan, initially focused on the Chubu region, following a memorandum of understanding signed in April 2026, GlobeNewswire reported.\n\n## Amogy's Singapore R&D Center Plans\n\nThe deployment is a cornerstone of Amogy's strategic expansion in Singapore. Amogy plans to expand its R&D, business development and project execution capabilities in Singapore to drive commercial growth across Asia-Pacific, and the collaboration with A*STAR is prompting the establishment of Amogy's first R&D center outside the United States.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
