AM Green's Milestone: India's Largest Green Ammonia Project in Kakinada
Key Ideas
- AM Green secures Final Investment Decision in August 2024 for a million-ton green ammonia project with 1.3 GW of electrolyzers, advancing India's green hydrogen goals.
- John Cockerill Hydrogen to supply 640 MW capacity advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers in two phases for the project, ensuring low-cost green hydrogen production.
- Strategic partnership between AM Green and John Cockerill includes the development of a 2 GW per year electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Kakinada to support green hydrogen production targets.
- The project in Kakinada aligns with India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and aims to reach 5 MTPA of green ammonia capacity by 2030, contributing significantly to India and Europe's green hydrogen targets.
AM Green has reached a significant milestone by finalizing the investment for India's largest green ammonia project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The project, with 1.3 GW of advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers, is set to commence production in the second half of 2026. John Cockerill Hydrogen will supply the electrolyzers in two phases to facilitate the production of green hydrogen and its conversion into green ammonia. This collaboration between AM Green and John Cockerill aims to establish a robust green hydrogen ecosystem in India, with the development of a 2 GW per year electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Kakinada. The project not only supports India's green hydrogen goals under the National Green Hydrogen Mission but also contributes to global decarbonization efforts in industries like refining, shipping, fertilizers, power generation, and chemicals. Certified by CertifHy for compliance with EU RFNBO standards, the project has already secured offtake agreements for green hydrogen applications and is expected to accelerate India's green ammonia capacity to 5 MTPA by 2030. John Cockerill's CEO and President expressed pride in their role in advancing green hydrogen through technology and partnerships in India, positioning the country as a key player in sustainable energy. The joint venture of Rely, John Cockerill's collaboration with Technip Energies, will provide essential services for the facility, demonstrating a comprehensive approach towards green hydrogen production. With public support from various countries, including India, USA, Belgium, and France, John Cockerill is poised to lead the way in establishing local green hydrogen ecosystems and supporting a greener, more sustainable energy landscape.
