Electrochemical ammonia-to-power · Australia
Power from ammonia, wherever it's needed.
Voltammonia is developing modular electrochemical technology that converts ammonia into sustainable and distributed power.
The problem
Remote industry relies on diesel.
Cost
Fuel delivered to remote sites carries a heavy price premium.
Logistics
Long, fragile supply chains keep operations exposed.
Emissions
Continuous generation drives significant emissions.
Technology
An electrochemical route from ammonia to power.
Voltammonia is developing a modular, low-temperature electrochemical system designed to generate power from ammonia for distributed applications.
Ammonia
NH₃ feedstock
Voltammonia
Electrochemical cell
Hydrogen
Clean H₂ output
Power
Distributed generation
Low temperature
Operates without the extreme temperatures required by conventional ammonia cracking.
Modular
Designed for distributed applications rather than only large centralised facilities.
Fast response
Electrochemical operation enables responsive power generation.
Progress
Lab-scale
Prototype demonstrated
500+
Hours of operation
2
Patents pending
Applications
Starting with remote agriculture.
Farms and other remote operations rely heavily on diesel, while established ammonia supply chains already reach many of these areas for other applications.
Potential future applications
Remote and off-grid power
Sites beyond reliable grid infrastructure that run on delivered fuel today.
Powering AI datacenters
Compute demand growing faster than firm, low-emissions generation can be connected.
Industrial energy
Process and back-up power at facilities already handling chemical feedstocks.
Maritime
Vessels exploring ammonia as an energy carrier for long-range operation.
About
Research moving out of the lab.
Voltammonia is being developed in the University of Sydney’s electrochemistry laboratory, led by Associate Professor Fengwang Li.
