Rely and John Cockerill to Lead Green Ammonia Plant Project in India
Key Ideas
- Rely and John Cockerill have been selected to convert an Indian production plant to produce green ammonia at a scale of 1 million tonnes per year, highlighting the growing potential of the Indian market.
- The project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, will utilize advanced technologies like pressurized alkaline electrolyzers powered by renewable sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric energy.
- AM Green plans to expand its green ammonia production in India, targeting a total of 5 million tonnes per year by 2030, showcasing a significant commitment to sustainable development.
- The project has already received pre-certification and signifies an important step towards integrating green hydrogen technology in India's industrial landscape and fostering international collaborations.
Rely, in partnership with John Cockerill, has been chosen by AM Green, an Indian company, to convert its production plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, to produce green ammonia at a scale of 1 million tonnes annually. This project, which obtained a Final Investment Decision last August, demonstrates the potential of the Indian market for green energy initiatives. The plant, situated in a strategic port location on the east coast, plans to mainly export the green ammonia to Europe. Notably, the site has achieved CertifHY pre-certification, a significant milestone as the first project in India to reach this stage. Rely and John Cockerill will play key roles in designing, supplying equipment, and constructing the plant. The installation will feature two 640 MW pressurized alkaline electrolyzers, a first for an industrial site, producing hydrogen via electrolysis powered by a mix of wind, solar, and hydroelectric energy sources. Beyond Kakinada, AM Green aims to establish multiple green ammonia plants in India, with a target of 5 million tonnes per year production by 2030. The collaboration between Rely, John Cockerill, and AM Green will be celebrated during the European Hydrogen Week in November, underlining the significance of international partnerships in advancing sustainable energy solutions. The project signifies a crucial step towards incorporating green hydrogen technology in India's industrial sector, aligning with global efforts for sustainable development.
