AMoRE searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay using 100 kg of enriched 100Mo Scintillating molybdate crystals coupled with a metallic magnetic calorimeter operate at milli-Kelvin temperatures to measure the energy of electrons emitted in the decay. AMoRE-I is a demonstrator for the full-scale AMoRE, operated at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory for over two years. The exposure was 8.02 kg year (or 3.89 kg 100Mo year), and the total background rate near the Q value was 0.025±0.002 counts/keV/kg/year. We observed no indication of 0νββ decay and report a new lower limit of the half-life of 100 Mo 0νββ decay as Τ0ν1/2 >2.9×1024 yr at 90% confidence level. The effective Majorana mass limit range is mββ<(210–610) meV using nuclear matrix elements estimated in the framework of different models, including the recent shell model calculations.
