Enabling ammonia as marine fuel
We close the gap for ammonia as a zero-carbon shipping fuel by providing the needed technology and infrastructure
Building an ammonia fuel bunkering network with strong partners
Azane enables ammonia as marine fuel. Green ammonia serves as a hydrogen carrier, offering the benefits of reduced transportation and storage costs. In close collaboration with partners, we contribute to decarbonizing the shipping industry by developing, delivering and owning tailored ammonia bunkering solutions and technology for ammonia fuel handling.
Azane has developed ground-breaking patented technology for safe, reliable, and cost-efficient ammonia bunkering, also suitable for ammonia fuel handling systems. Azane has the most mature ammonia bunkering infrastructure projects in Norway, and the only with safety approval from the regulatory authorities.
Our SOLUTIONS
Azane Fuel Solutions delivers complete solutions for bunkering of refrigerated ammonia and Ammonia handling solutions for maritime applications
Bunkering solutions
Based on our unique technology, we offer bunkering terminals tailored to the specific location, taking into account the expected fuel demand and local conditions at the harbour. Our bunkering solutions aim to be the safest, most reliable and efficient on the market.
Ammonia handling
We offer the entire range of solutions required to process and handle ammonia as a fuel or a cargo. Our solutions have been developed in close collaboration with ammonia industry experts, end users, and location owners.
INTEGRATED AMMONIA SAFETY
AZANE FUEL SOLUTIONS can offer integrated safety solutions for ammonia fuel terminals and other applications.
Leak prevention and mitigation solutions to minimize risk and safety distances.
Solutions for gas freeing, inerting and safe handling as part of transfer operations.
Solutions for minimum venting of ammonia to the atmosphere as part of operations.
Other customized safety solutions.
Our services
Our core offering is delivering turn-key solutions. We also offer support to all bunkering project phases, from a feasibility study, via engineering & approvals, to construction, installation, T&C, and start of operations.
Location & Project Development
Together with local stakeholders, we evaluate and develop bunkering locations, assessing optimal technical solutions for a specific site, risk studies, site specific engineering, and dialogues and approvals with local and regulatory authorities. We perform feasibility studies for clients, typically an initial risk assessment, a technical concept solution, and analysing potential ammonia fuel demand at the desired location.
Ammonia supply & Bunkering
We are getting ready to invest in a network of bunkering terminals in Norway and surrounding seas, making ammonia fuel availble by providing logistings solutions, constructing & owning essentual infrastructure, and ensuring safe & efficient operations. With support from Enova, we are evaluating 7 bunkering infrastructure opportunities, and expect to bunker the first customers in 2026.
Engineering
We offer all engineering services relevant to using ammonia as maritime fuel, from concept design to start of operations. With our network of affiliated experts, we design solutions, conduct risk assessments, prepare applications to relevant government agencies, perform calculations and issue technical documentation. We can offer EPCI, or act as Project Managers for the Builder.
ABout us
Azane was founded in 2021 to provide the missing link between existing ammonia production and trade and ships wishing to run on ammonia as carbon-free fuel. We develop safe, reliable, and cost-efficient solutions for bunkering terminals and other ammonia fuel handling systems. With the expertise of our four strong owners who span the entire value chain of ammonia and collaboration with other knowledgeable partners, Azane has developed a unique technology that can offer fast, safe, and flexible bunkering of ammonia, and we are ready to construct the world’s first dedicated bunkering terminals.
Latest news
Why Ammonia?
- Carbon-free - Inherently carbon-free when produced from renewable energy.
- Energy rich - 45-50% higher energy density than liquid hydrogen.
- Handling - Easier to produce, distribute and store than hydrogen.
- Well established - Globally traded commodity with 130 ports having ammonia import/export infrastructure in place.
- Abundant - Comprised of nitrogen and hydrogen, among the earth's most plentiful resources.
- Versatile - Demand stretches far beyond shipping fuel (e.g. fertilisers, power generation, hydrogen carrier), incentivising significant investments.
