Here's the context for those who don't have Linked In:

I wouldn't typically share personal stories like this, but I believe it's crucial to shed light on our journey. It all began in 2018 when I sat down with Ron Hodkinson and Masood Ariff to delve into the world of hydrogen fuel cells. Ron eloquently outlined the challenges associated with hydrogen, prompting us to explore an alternative path: ammonia IC engines. Thus, Letaq Exalt was born, later evolving into Letaq and LetaqNH3 Power Systems as more directors joined the venture. By 2021, Letaq had unveiled its first proof of concept engine, followed swiftly by a second in 2023. However, a shift in dynamics within Letaq became palpable, particularly after a revealing WhatsApp message. Edited by Admin........
I just want to point out that Ron had major impact on getting the ammonia engine running

By February 2024, the landscape had altered significantly. Four out of five directors from LetaqNH3 Power Systems branched out to establish Ammotto Ltd, aiming to transfer LetaqNH3 technology to this new entity, potentially isolating a shareholder. It was during this tumultuous period that I made the decision to pivot towards Letaq Energy, forging new partnerships with strategic companies to propel ammonia IC engine development forward. However, complications arose due to conflicts over the name Letaq, compounded by obstacles set by Ammotto Ltd.

In response to these challenges, the management team at Letaq Energy has made the bold decision to rebrand the company as Ammteq. Under this new identity, Ammteq remains steadfast in its mission to advance the development of liquefied ammonia IC engines, which run solely on ammonia and boast 100% zero emissions. The Ammteq team is not only committed to pushing technological boundaries but also to pushing them to the very edge in our collective pursuit of a cleaner future for generations to come.

In the face of adversity, Ammteq stands poised to lead the charge towards a more sustainable tomorrow, where innovation and collaboration drive us towards unparalleled heights of environmental stewardship and technological excellence.

I would, however, like to finish this post by saying thank you to Ron for all he has taught me over the years about ammonia and IC engines, as well as for our shared travels around the Middle East.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
