Amogy Inc. and KOWA Company, Ltd. have partnered to introduce ammonia-cracking-based hydrogen supply solutions in Japan. The collaboration follows an April 2026 Memorandum of Understanding and will focus on jointly exploring opportunities to deploy ammonia cracking for hydrogen supply.

Which end-use sectors in Japan (e.g., mobility, industrial processes, power generation) stand to benefit most from ammonia-cracked hydrogen, and what hurdles—such as infrastructure, regulation, or cost—must be addressed for broad adoption?

Ammonia crackers leave trace NH3; are you targeting ISO 14687 fuel-cell specs (<0.1 ppm NH3) with PSA/membrane polishing, and what’s the catalyst maintenance interval in the field? From an ops/adoption lens, pre-packaged SOPs and calibrated NH3/H2 detection could be as critical as the reactor design.

Ammonia cracking looks workable, but the energy penalty and NH3 slip cleanup can kill you at the dispenser. What H2 purity are they targeting, and how are they scrubbing and monitoring slip to protect PEMs (<0.1 ppm)? Also, which catalyst (Ru vs Ni) and what is the interlock philosophy for NH3 and H2 leak detection, catalyst temperature runaway, and tailgas NOx if they burn slip?
