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 Taipei Department of Health’s latest inspection of fresh fruit and vegetables sold in local markets revealed a 25 percent failure rate, with most contraventions involving excessive pesticide residues, while two durians were also found to contain heavy metal cadmium at levels exceeding safety limits. Health Food and Drug Division Director Lin Kuan-chen (林冠蓁) yesterday said the agency routinely conducts inspections of fresh produce sold at traditional markets, supermarkets, hypermarkets, retail outlets and restaurants, testing for pesticide residues and other harmful substances. In its most recent inspection, conducted in May, the department randomly collected 52 samples from various locations, with testing showing
The government should improve children’s outdoor spaces and accelerate carbon reduction programs, as the risk of heat-related injury due to high summer temperatures rises each year, Greenpeace told a news conference yesterday. Greenpeace examined summer temperatures in Taipei, New Taipei City, Taoyuan, Hsinchu City, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung to determine the effects of high temperatures and climate change on children’s outdoor activities, citing data garnered by China Medical University, which defines a wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) of 29°C or higher as posing the risk of heat-related injury. According to the Central Weather Administration, WBGT, commonly referred to as the heat index, estimates
Taipei and other northern cities are to host air-raid drills from 1:30pm to 2pm tomorrow as part of urban resilience drills held alongside the Han Kuang exercises, Taiwan’s largest annual military exercises. Taipei, New Taipei City, Keelung, Taoyuan, Yilan County, Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County are to hold the annual Wanan air defense exercise tomorrow, following similar drills held in central and southern Taiwan yesterday and today respectively. The Taipei Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) and Maokong Gondola are to run as usual, although stations and passenger parking lots would have an “entry only, no exit” policy once air raid sirens sound, Taipei
Taipei placed 14th in the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Best Student Cities 2026 list, its highest ever, according to results released yesterday. With an overall score of 89.1, the city climbed 12 places from the previous year, surpassing its previous best ranking of 17th in 2019. Taipei is “one of Asia’s leading higher-education hubs,” with strong employer activity scores and students “enjoying their experience of the city and often keen to stay after graduation,” a QS staff writer said. In addition to Taipei, Hsinchu (71st), Tainan (92nd), Taichung (113th) and Taoyuan (130th) also made QS’ list of the top 150 student cities. Hsinchu showed the
