- Amogy
Participated · Series B · Mar 2023
Amogy builds modular ammonia-to-power systems that crack ammonia into hydrogen and feed the resulting hydrogen into a fuel cell or engine, enabling carbon-free electricity generation. The company targets hard-to-decarbonise sectors, with current focus on maritime propulsion, distributed generation, and floating power infrastructure. Its plug-and-play modules are designed to integrate into vessels or barges, providing fast-deployable, high-density power. Amogy is now exploring the use of its technology on Powerships and floating data-centre platforms through a new partnership with Kinetics, a subsidiary of Karpowership. By pairing on-board ammonia storage with at-sea operations, the approach could circumvent on-shore permitting delays while leveraging seawater cooling for improved energy efficiency. The collaboration aims to serve multi-hundred-megawatt AI and digital-infrastructure loads, contingent on developing adequate ammonia bunkering and grid connections. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article, but management positions the solution as a key enabler for rapid, large-scale decarbonisation in high-demand markets.
- Energy Vault
Led · Equity · Jan 2022
Energy Vault designs and deploys large-scale energy storage systems that balance electric grids and enable greater penetration of renewable power. The company already owns and operates storage facilities in Texas and California and recently added the 1 GWh Stoney Creek project in Australia to its portfolio. Beyond its operating assets, Energy Vault is advancing a roughly 3 GW pipeline of battery energy storage systems across the United States, Europe, and Australia. To house and manage its growing fleet, the company plans to establish a new subsidiary, Asset Vault, once a pending preferred equity transaction is completed. Energy Vault intends to operate as an independent power producer, supported by long-term offtake contracts that are expected to generate high-margin, recurring cash flows. The firm’s recent financings provide working capital and balance-sheet strength to accelerate project development and global expansion.
