Rescale is working with Amogy, a clean energy pioneer, to develop a technology that will use ammonia-based solutions to power ships, trucks, planes, and trains, reducing global greenhouse emissions by 10% by 2040.
Amogy, based in Brooklyn, New York, was founded in 2020 by a group of former MIT PhDs with the goal of developing an ammonia-based power system that would drastically reduce global greenhouse emissions – by as much as 10% over the next two decades, according to Woo. Amogy’s solution combines hydrogen fuel cell advancements with the benefits of ammonia as a fuel source.
Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund invested an undisclosed amount in Amogy in December 2021. Amogy will collaborate with Amazon on the demonstration of an ammonia-powered clean cargo-shipping vessel. According to Amazon, decarbonizing maritime shipping is one of the most pressing environmental issues that must be addressed in order to combat climate change.
Amogy’s technology development is based on high-performance computing and computational research. Engineers at Amogy put a variety of models through their paces, varying parameters and conditions. One of their main objectives is to design a reactor that maximizes the ammonia-to-hydrogen conversion process. The ultimate solution – an alternative energy source to replace fossil fuels in heavy transport – necessitated massive computational resources for simulation and modeling. Rescale provided an end-to-end HPC-as-a-Service solution with a user interface created by and for scientists.
Rescale, backed by investors such as Jeff Bezos, Sir Richard Branson, Microsoft, Samsung, and NVIDIA, is speeding up engineering breakthroughs across a wide range of industries, allowing scientists and engineers to accomplish more in less time. Rescale automates the entire high-performance computing stack, giving users access to the world’s most powerful computing architectures while maintaining IT security and control.
