According to Amogy, under the terms of their MoU, the two parties will establish a foundation for future collaboration and will explore joint opportunities for mutual promotion and to advocate for offshore wind.

As the global offshore wind industry continues to rapidly expand, Southwind aims to establish Kristiansand, Norway, as an operational base for offshore wind developments and as the preferred hub for a national competence centre.

Correspondingly, Amogy, which expanded its operations to Norway in 2022, said it recognizes the potential that the offshore industry holds for its ammonia-to-power technology and the company has formed multiple strategic partnerships to explore the application of its technology in this sector.

In April, the company signed an agreement with Marco Polo Marine under which Amogy’s ammonia-to-power systems will be installed on Marco Polo Marine’s offshore wind vessels.

“Our partnership with Southwind marks an exciting chapter in our journey to establish ammonia-to-power as a game-changing solution for the offshore industry”, said Christain Berg, Managing Director of Amogy Norway.

“By combining our expertise and resources, we are confident that we can play a pivotal role in advancing the development of offshore energy and in establishing ammonia as a zero-emission solution for this industry.”

When it comes to Southwind, the company is serving both Sørlige Nordsjø II specifically, and the North Sea offshore wind developments generally, throughout the entire development of offshore wind farms, from geophysical surveys to installation, operation and maintenance, according to the firm.
