The company’s founder and group chairman Chalamalasetty Anil Kumar said the first shipment is expected in 2028 from AM Green Ammonia’s First 1 MTAP that’s under construction in Kakinada.
Kakinada: Kakinada will have a big boon in the form of making renewable ammonia of 5 lakh tonnes per year, at a facility set up by AM Green Ammonia India Private Ltd (AM Green Ammonia).
The company’s founder and group chairman Chalamalasetty Anil Kumar said the first shipment is expected in 2028 from AM Green Ammonia’s First 1 MTAP that’s under construction in Kakinada.
AM Green Ammonia and Uniper Global Commodities SE signed a long-term binding off-take agreement for renewable ammonia, certified as a renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO). This agreement is the first of its kind for an Indian company, exchanged between the Commander of the Order of British Empire Michael Lewis , the CEO of Uniper and Chalamalasetty Anil Kumar in the presence of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad on Monday.
Under the agreement, Uniper would off-take up to 5 lakh tonnes per year from AM Green’s green ammonia projects. The contract is an important milestone in India’s quest for becoming a leading exporter of green hydrogen and green ammonia to the world.
This is aligned with PM Modi’s vision of National Hydrogen Mission.
For Uniper, the agreement represents a significant step forward in developing a diversified portfolio of renewable and low-carbon molecules for European customers. As a feedstock and a potential hydrogen carrier, renewable ammonia would help decarbonise industrial sectors such as chemicals, fertilizers, refining, and overtime shipping.
Uniper and AM Green Ammonia would continue working with certification bodies to ensure traceability and high integrity reporting for European end-users.
Chalamalasetty Anil Kumar said the partnership is a milestone for India’s role in the global energy transition and renewable ammonia is designed to meet stringent European RFNBO compliance standards. This is achieved through unique, firm and dispatchable clean electricity solutions.
He said that enabling multiple downstream sectors including ammonia, aluminium, chemicals and other energy-intensive industries lower their emissions significantly for India and for the world.
AM Green Ammonia is a partnership among AM Green, Gentari, GIC and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). It is developing a portfolio of green ammonia plants across Kakinada, Tuticorin and Kandla.
The first plant of the portfolio of 1 MTPA capacity is under construction in Kakinada, which achieved the critical milestone of Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2024. It has already started construction on its green ammonia plant, making it one of the select few large-scale RFNBO compliant green ammonia plants in construction globally.
The company is a platform of the Greenko Group and is focused on producing renewable hydrogen and converting it into renewable ammonia at scale.
The company recently decided to develop a world scale facility in Kakinada, with a production of up to 1 million tonnes of renewable ammonia per year.
