OXGRIN Launching Game-Changing Green Generator at International Automobile Exposition
Oxford Green Innotech (“OXGRIN”), a pioneering startup spun-out from the University of Oxford, is excited to unveil the AMCAT K10, an ammonia-powered generator designed to offer affordable, long-lasting, standalone, and genuinely zero-emission energy. Positioned to transform the green power supply sector, the AMCAT K10 aims to deliver consistent and clean power to every corner of the globe. By harnessing the high energy density of ammonia, a single 530-kg cylinder of ammonia fuel can support up to 230 hours of uninterrupted backup power, ensuring dependable green energy in any situation.
“The advent of electric vehicles has brought tremendous pressure to the grid, especially during peak charging hours. That’s why OXGRIN is bringing AMCAT K10 generator to the market, offering a emission-free mobile charging unit that can charge 16 Tesla Model 3 from 0 to 80% with one ammonia tank. Moreover, this power generator can operate as a standalone unit, which means you can literally place it anywhere as long as electricity is needed.” Said Dr. Simson Wu, CEO and Cofounder of OXGRIN.
Aiming to make a positive impact on the world, OXGRIN launches the AMCAT K10 generator at the International Automobile Exposition (IAE) in Macau this November. "We're thrilled to have OXGRIN participate in our auto show this year, introducing an alternative solution to traditional superchargers. I believe the AMCAT K10 is going to be a key-enabler for charging EVs anywhere and anytime." said the organizing committee of IAE.
Key Feature of AMCAT K10:
1. Low-Cost: 50% fuel cost vs Diesel generators
2. Long-Duration: Sustain weeks of operation vs hours (battery)
3. Standalone: No need to connect to grid/ solar panel for charging
4. Truly Zero-Emission: Lifecycle of ammonia is air and water only
Converting ammonia into electricity, the AMCAT K10 utilizes OXGRIN's proprietary catalyst—a cutting-edge, ultra-low-temperature alternative to commercial catalysts honed at the University of Oxford over the past decade. Through innovative engineering, OXGRIN's team is the world’s first to successfully reduce the energy input required for ammonia cracking to just 36% of what's typically needed by competitors.
Beyond its role as a mobile charging unit, OXGRIN’s AMCAT K10 generator is poised to fully replace diesel generators across various markets, such as telecommunications, remote off-grid power supply, mining sites, emergency services, utility networks, and more. "Extreme weather conditions in recent times have heightened the risk of power outages, potentially leaving areas without electricity and internet for extended periods unless a reliable backup generator is in place. The zero-emission AMCAT K10 addresses this need, bridging the gap left by battery-powered generators that rely on grid charging and have limited energy storage capabilities," commented Professor Edman Tsang, Co-founder of OXGRIN and Head of the Wolfson Catalysis Centre at the University of Oxford. Included in OXGRIN's development roadmap is also the K100 series, a generator designed for higher power output. It's intended for heavy-duty applications such as construction sites, hotels, and data centers.
