India's Green Ammonia Plant: Exporting Hydrogen to Europe by 2026
Key Ideas
  • A one million-tonne-per-year green ammonia plant in Kakinada, India, has secured final investment decision for exporting hydrogen derivative to Europe by 2026.
  • The project, backed by Greenko and Gentari, will utilize 1.3GW of John Cockerill alkaline electrolysers powered by renewable energy round the clock.
  • Initial production target is set at one million tonnes of ammonia by 2026, with plans to increase capacity to five million tonnes by 2030.
  • This initiative signifies a major step towards sustainable hydrogen production and export from India to Europe, contributing to the green energy transition globally.
A significant development in the green energy sector has taken place in India as a one million-tonne-per-year green ammonia plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, has received final investment decision (FID). The project backed by Greenko and Gentari will focus on producing green ammonia and exporting the hydrogen derivative to Europe starting from 2026. The plant plans to employ 1.3GW of John Cockerill alkaline electrolysers, ensuring the utilization of round-the-clock renewable energy for production. By 2026, the plant aims to reach a production capacity of one million tonnes of ammonia, with ambitious plans to scale up and increase this capacity to five million tonnes by 2030. This initiative not only emphasizes the commitment towards sustainable energy practices but also highlights India's potential to contribute significantly to the global green energy transition. The project aligns with the goals of reducing carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices in the energy sector, marking a positive step towards a greener future.
