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.
US climber Alex Honnold is to attempt to scale Taipei 101 without a rope and harness in a live Netflix special on Jan. 24, the streaming platform announced on Wednesday. Accounting for the time difference, the two-hour broadcast of Honnold’s climb, called Skyscraper Live, is to air on Jan. 23 in the US, Netflix said in a statement. Honnold, 40, was the first person ever to free solo climb the 900m El Capitan rock formation in Yosemite National Park — a feat that was recorded and later made into the 2018 documentary film Free Solo. Netflix previewed Skyscraper Live in October, after videos
NUMBERS IMBALANCE: More than 4 million Taiwanese have visited China this year, while only about half a million Chinese have visited here Beijing has yet to respond to Taiwan’s requests for negotiation over matters related to the recovery of cross-strait tourism, the Tourism Administration said yesterday.

As of October, more than 4.2 million had traveled to China this year, exceeding last year. Beijing estimated the number of Taiwanese tourists in China could reach 4.5 million this year. By contrast, only 500,000 Chinese tourists are expected in Taiwan, the report said. The report
Temperatures are forecast to drop steadily as a continental cold air mass moves across Taiwan, with some areas also likely to see heavy rainfall, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said. From today through early tomorrow, a cold air mass would keep temperatures low across central and northern Taiwan, and the eastern half of Taiwan proper, with isolated brief showers forecast along Keelung’s north coast, Taipei and New Taipei City’s mountainous areas and eastern Taiwan, it said. Lows of 11°C to 15°C are forecast in central and northern Taiwan, Yilan County, and the outlying Kinmen and Lienchiang (Matsu) counties, and 14°C to 17°C
STEERING FAILURE: The first boat of its class is experiencing teething issues as it readies for acceptance by the navy, according to a recent story about rudder failure The Hai Kun (海鯤), the nation’s first locally built submarine, allegedly suffered a total failure of stern hydraulic systems during the second round of sea acceptance trials on June 26, and sailors were forced to manually operate the X-rudder to turn the submarine and return to port, news Web site Mirror Daily reported yesterday. The report said that tugboats following the Hai Kun assisted the submarine in avoiding collisions with other ships due to the X-rudder malfunctioning. At the time of the report, the submarine had completed its trials and was scheduled to begin diving and surfacing tests in shallow areas. The X-rudder,
