AmmPower Corp. Announces Letter of Intent for Joint Venture
with Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Corp. for Fuel Cell Generator Pilot
Using Green Ammonia
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 22, 2022 / (CSE:AMMP, OTCQB:AMMPF,
FSE:601A) / AmmPower Corp. (the "Company" or "AmmPower") is pleased to announce that
on November 3rd, 2022, the Company executed a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with
Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Corp. ("PWWR"), a company developing affordable, renewable, and
reliable energy assets and cleantech. The LOI summarizes the intentions of the Company and
PWWR entering into a joint venture (the "JV") for the development of a pilot project testing
PWWR's off-grid fuel cell generator and AmmPower's ammonia cracking technology (the
"Pilot").
"Given North America is years away from being able to deliver free-flowing hydrogen to
customers, PWWR is doing everything we can to demonstrate more immediate alternatives
designed to accelerate the sale of fuel cells to business and home owners," commented Frank
Carnevale, CEO of PWWR. "This is why I am so excited to partner with AmmPower as we aim to
successfully demonstrate that green ammonia is an energy carrier that can bring clean 'Power to
the People' today. The AmmPower technology is converting green ammonia back into hydrogen
and when combined with PWWR's robust alkaline fuel cell technology, represents a great potential
solution to deliver affordable, renewable and reliable electricity to customers who deserve better
options than what exists today."
AmmPower's CEO, Dr. Gary Benninger, states, "AmmPower is pleased to enter in a Joint Venture
with PWWR to take advantage of the numerous opportunities in the alternative energy space. The
AmmPower team has leading cracking technology that complements PWWR fuel cell innovations,
and we look forward to working with the PWWR team on solving the world's energy needs."
Joint Venture Details
AmmPower is focused on developing technology to convert green ammonia into green hydrogen,
a process called ammonia "cracking". With this cracking technology, hydrogen can be safely
stored and transported around the world as ammonia, and upon arrival at its destination, be
converted back into hydrogen for a cleaner and more efficient end-use. PWWR is developing lowcost hydrogen fuel cell systems for global markets, which can convert hydrogen into electricity
with zero CO2 emissions.
The goal of the JV is to showcase the market opportunities and ultimate value potential of
advancing such ammonia-to-power technology for off-grid and back-up electricity across North
America. Specifically, the Pilot is designed to demonstrate the ability to convert green ammonia
to hydrogen using AmmPower's ammonia cracking technology and then convert that hydrogen
into clean energy using PWWR's 4kW fuel cell generator system. The ammonia-to-power unit will
be a completely carbon-free process for electricity generation.
Both PWWR and AmmPower will work together over the coming months to identify suitable sites
and partners for the execution of the JV. PWWR has already identified and begun discussions with
a number of targets to demonstrate the combined technology's ability to deliver affordable,
renewable and reliable power in support of their operations and requirements.
The obligations of the parties will be subject to customary conditions after satisfactory completion
of due diligence, including the board of directors of each party approving the proposed transaction
and the parties' execution of a definitive agreement.
Advantages of Ammonia
PWWR's Alkaline Fuel Cell technology offers a more cost-effective solution, especially when the
available hydrogen is not at ultra pure PEM (proton-exchange membrane) fuel cell grade
specification. Due to this introduction of robust alkaline technology, the typical purification steps
used by industry peers to upgrade the hydrogen are no longer required.
This alkaline fuel cell can be operated with hydrogen that contains up to 3000 parts per million
("ppm") of ammonia, thus reducing the costs for hydrogen purification after the conversion.
One cubic metre ("m3
") of liquid ammonia contains 119 kg of hydrogen. In comparison,
compressed hydrogen at 300 bar(g) of pressure has 22kg/m3
and liquid hydrogen at -253°C has
71kg/m3
. To put this into perspective, one small 1 m3
tank of ammonia at 10 bar(g) of pressure
and at ambient temperature contains five and a half times more hydrogen than 20 cylinders of
compressed hydrogen at 300 bar(g) of pressure.
Accelerating Fuel Cell Market Growth
The emphasis on availability of green hydrogen is a necessary catalyst to kick-start the value chain
underpinning a true hydrogen economy. AmmPower's green ammonia technology can accelerate
the availability of hydrogen, enabling production at locations where renewable infrastructure is
already available can transporting to locations where hydrogen is required to serve as a green,
zero-emission fuel.
As previously announced in PWWR's June 20, 2022 press release, the Company is making
continued progress on meeting its second half 2022 targets, including to:
• Further accelerate and ramp up efforts to bring fuel cells to market, globally; and
• Secure additional strategic partnerships for the piloting and deployment of fuel cells in
North America.

NEWS -- AmmPower Corp. Response to Inflation Reduction Act (2022) and Proposed Hydrogen Tax Incentives
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2022 / CSE:AMMP, OTCQB:AMMPF, FSE:601A / AmmPower Corp. (the "Company" or "AmmPower") announces that the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the "Act"), which was approved by the United States Congress and signed into law on August 16th, 2022, includes provisions that the Company believes will benefit owners of AmmPower's independent ammonia production systems, the IAMM™ units.
The Act includes several provisions to incentivize clean energy and clean hydrogen production through deductible tax credits. These credits will offset the operating costs associated with the production of green hydrogen, and therefore green ammonia. The Company believes its IAMM™ units will meet the qualifications listed in the Act, enabling owners of IAMM™ units to take advantage of the proposed tax credits. Some of these qualifications include:
1. Clean hydrogen production facility;2. Clean Hydrogen used in the production of green ammonia; and3. Built before January 1, 2033.Today, ammonia production results in the creation of nearly 2% of all CO2 emissions due to the use of fossil fuels in traditional ammonia manufacturing processes. AmmPower anticipates that the Act will have the intended impact of accelerating the switch to green energy, especially in the production of green ammonia.
Dr. Gary Benninger, AmmPower CEO and Executive Chairman, states, "we are pleased to see legislative support to accelerate the decarbonization of our economy. AmmPower is proud to be playing a role in initiatives that are so important to the future well-being of our world."
