Hygenco Green Energies to Export Green Ammonia from India to Europe
Key Ideas
- Hygenco Green Energies, located in India's Gopalpur, Odisha, is set to export green ammonia to Europe after receiving Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) pre-certification from Bureau Veritas.
- The CertifHy scheme, recognized by the European Commission, allows EU end-users access to green or low-carbon hydrogen, with Hygenco planning to invest $2.5bn to establish green hydrogen projects in India.
- The green ammonia plant at Tata Steel’s Special Economic Zone Industrial Park aims to produce 1.1 million tonnes per annum, with Phase 1 operational by 2027, aligning with EU's Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) targets.
- The project by Hygenco reflects global interest in green hydrogen projects, with other initiatives like First Ammonia's green hydrogen-based facility in the US, indicating a growing trend towards sustainable energy production.
Hygenco Green Energies, based in Gopalpur, Odisha, India, is gearing up to export green ammonia to Europe following pre-certification under the CertifHy scheme by Bureau Veritas. This move allows European end-users to access green or low-carbon hydrogen, aligning with EU regulations. The green ammonia plant, part of a multi-phase project at Tata Steel’s Special Economic Zone Industrial Park, aims to produce 1.1 million tonnes yearly, with Phase 1 set to start operations by 2027, contributing to the EU's Renewable Energy Directive targets.
Amit Ghosh, from Bureau Veritas South Asia Region, emphasized the impact of European Commission regulations on hydrogen producers globally, fostering significant interest in green hydrogen projects. Hygenco's investment of $2.5bn over three years signals a commitment to green hydrogen initiatives in India, reflecting a growing trend towards sustainable energy. Additionally, another project by First Ammonia in the US, utilizing solid-oxide electrolysers (SOEC) for green hydrogen production, showcases the advancement and adoption of eco-friendly energy solutions.
