India has taken a significant stride towards promoting Green Ammonia production for its National Green Hydrogen Mission. The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has kickstarted the competitive bidding process for the production and supply of 5.39 lakh Metric Tonnes (MT)/annum of Green Ammonia. This move is part of the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme under the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE). The aim is to boost the demand for Green Hydrogen and its derivatives in the country. The RfS for Selection of Green Ammonia Producers is a crucial step in advancing India's clean energy goals. SECI, as the implementing agency, will oversee the bidding process, facilitating the supply of Green Ammonia to fertilizer companies. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in January 2023, with a significant budget allocation, is poised to make India self-reliant in clean energy. By promoting Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia production, the Mission aims to reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports and drive decarbonization of the economy. This initiative not only aligns with India's sustainability goals but also positions the country to lead in technology and market aspects related to Green Hydrogen globally.
