India-Japan Collaboration in Green Ammonia Production for Decarbonisation
Key Ideas
- Six leading Japanese firms sign an MOU with ACME Group in Odisha, India, to explore investment opportunities in a green ammonia production project by 2030.
- The project aims to produce 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually for export to Japan to serve power generation companies and chemical manufacturers.
- The collaboration involves expertise in ammonia production, transportation, and utilisation, with a focus on decarbonisation in various sectors.
- Additional initiatives in India, like Adani Energy Solutions' transmission project in Gujarat, indicate a growing interest in green hydrogen and ammonia production.
In a move to strengthen the value chain links between India and Japan, six leading Japanese firms have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore investment opportunities in a green ammonia production project in Odisha, eastern India. The project, in collaboration with renewable energy company ACME Group, aims to produce 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually by 2030 for export to Japan. This initiative is part of efforts to promote decarbonisation in various sectors by utilizing green ammonia as a raw material for fertilizers and chemicals. The collaboration also highlights the importance of expertise in ammonia production, transportation, and utilisation for establishing a robust ammonia value chain. In parallel, in India, companies like Adani Energy Solutions are also venturing into green hydrogen and green ammonia manufacturing, showcasing a growing trend towards sustainable energy solutions.
