GreenHarvest, a Taiwan-based renewable energy firm, today announced a strategic collaboration with Amogy, a U.S.-based company providing scalable and efficient ammonia-to-power solutions. The companies will jointly advance the deployment of ammonia-to-hydrogen power systems in large electricity consumer facilities in Taiwan, supporting industrial decarbonization efforts targeting Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
Amogy’s proprietary ammonia cracking technology utilizes advanced catalyst materials to efficiently convert ammonia into hydrogen. The hydrogen is then funneled into a hydrogen engine, generating high-performance power with zero carbon emissions. This system offers a modular, efficient, and safe clean energy solution for hard-to-abate sectors.
Seonghoon Woo, CEO at Amogy stated: “We are proud to bring our ammonia-powered technology to Taiwan with a forward-looking partner like GreenHarvest. This project not only represents the first deployment of our technology in Taiwan, but also a critical step toward decarbonizing industrial energy use in one of the world’s most important digital infrastructure economies. ”
Since 2020, GreenHarvest has focused on rooftop solar PV development in Taiwan and has expanded internationally through a green hydrogen partnership with H2U in Australia. It plans to begin importing green ammonia to Taiwan by 2030. Its retail subsidiary, Mr. Watt, secured multiple contracts from manufacturing clients in 2025, with a projected total contracted green power supply exceeding 2 billion kWh.
KH Chen, Chairman of GreenHarvest, commented: “GreenHarvest has long been committed to rooftop solar development, providing industrial electricity users with a reliable and user-friendly source of green power. At the same time, we are actively deploying next-generation green electricity technologies. Through our 2024 collaboration with H2U in Australia on a green hydrogen project and this deployment of Amogy’s ammonia-to-power energy solution at customer sites, it further reinforces our confidence and momentum in ammonia-based energy applications.”
This deployment targets the first implementation of Amogy’s technology in Taiwan. Installation is scheduled for late 2026 to early 2027.

The German city of Hamburg on Oct. 14 named a bridge “Kaohsiung-Brucke” after the Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung. The footbridge, formerly known as F566, is to the east of the Speicherstadt, the world’s largest warehouse district, and connects the Dar-es-Salaam-Platz to the Brooktorpromenade near the Port of Hamburg on the Elbe River. Timo Fischer, a Free Democratic Party member of the Hamburg-Mitte District Assembly, in May last year proposed the name change with support from members of the Social Democratic Party and the Christian Democratic Union. Kaohsiung and Hamburg in 1999 inked a sister city agreement, but despite more than a quarter-century of
Taiwanese officials are courting podcasters and influencers aligned with US President Donald Trump as they grow more worried the US leader could undermine Taiwanese interests in talks with China, people familiar with the matter said. Trump has said Taiwan would likely be on the agenda when he is expected to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) next week in a bid to resolve persistent trade tensions. China has asked the White House to officially declare it “opposes” Taiwanese independence, Bloomberg reported last month, a concession that would mark a major diplomatic win for Beijing. President William Lai (賴清德) and his top officials
‘ONE CHINA’: A statement that Berlin decides its own China policy did not seem to sit well with Beijing, which offered only one meeting with the German official German Minister for Foreign Affairs Johann Wadephul’s trip to China has been canceled, a spokesperson for his ministry said yesterday, amid rising tensions between the two nations, including over Taiwan. Wadephul had planned to address Chinese curbs on rare earths during his visit, but his comments about Berlin deciding on the “design” of its “one China” policy ahead of the trip appear to have rankled China. Asked about Wadephul’s comments, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Guo Jiakun (郭嘉昆) said the “one China principle” has “no room for any self-definition.” In the interview published on Thursday, Wadephul said he would urge China to
