India-Japan Green Ammonia Partnership: A Step Towards Sustainable Energy Future
Key Ideas
  • Sembcorp Industries in India has signed an agreement with Kyushu Electric Power Co. to export green ammonia to Japan, reducing coal consumption at Japanese thermal power plants.
  • The partnership involves multiple parties, such as Sojitz Corp and NYK Line, to facilitate the cross-border supply of green ammonia from India to Japan.
  • India's National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, establishing the country as a hub for green hydrogen exports.
  • The agreement signifies India's increasing importance in the global green energy landscape and sets the stage for further collaborations in the green energy sector.
Sembcorp Industries, a renewable energy company based in Singapore, has forged a significant agreement with Kyushu Electric Power Co. in Japan to export green ammonia from its facility in India to Japan. This partnership aims to help Kyushu Electric reduce coal consumption at its thermal power plants by incorporating green ammonia into its energy mix. The signing event, chaired by the Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, highlighted the importance of this collaboration in establishing a sustainable supply chain from India to Japan. The agreement, which includes Sembcorp Industries, Sojitz Corp, Kyushu Electric Power Co., and NYK Line, marks the first of its kind between the two nations. Sembcorp will lead the production of green ammonia in India using renewable energy sources, with Kyushu Electric committed to integrating this green ammonia to partially replace coal in their power plants. Sojitz Corp will serve as the intermediary between the ammonia producer and the end consumer, while NYK Line will handle the maritime transportation. Minister Joshi emphasized that this partnership is a crucial step towards future collaborations in the green energy sector. India's National Green Hydrogen Mission targets the production of 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, with plans to position India as a hub for green hydrogen exports. The mission involves converting green hydrogen into green ammonia for efficient transport and signifies India's increasing influence in global green energy initiatives.
