AM Green Ammonia's Ambitious Green Ammonia Project in Kakinada, India
Key Ideas
  • AM Green Ammonia B.V. secures final investment decision for a million-ton green ammonia project in Kakinada, aiming to reach 5 MMtpy by 2030, equivalent to 1 MMtpy of green hydrogen.
  • The project involves establishing a green hydrogen generation unit, conversion to green ammonia, and infrastructure development with pre-certification for EU RFNBO requirements.
  • Offtake agreements are in place with industry players for green hydrogen applications, supported by a significant amount of carbon-free power from solar, wind, and pumped storage plant capacity.
  • AM Green plans to expand green ammonia production in India to contribute to net zero objectives, with the Kakinada project alone representing a substantial portion of India's and Europe's green hydrogen targets by 2030.
AM Green Ammonia B.V. has secured the final investment decision for its million-ton green ammonia project in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The company plans to achieve a production capacity of five million metric tons per year of green ammonia by 2030, equivalent to one million metric tons per year of green hydrogen. The project involves establishing a green hydrogen generation unit, converting it to green ammonia, and developing necessary infrastructure. Operations are expected to start in 2026, with a focus on exporting the majority of the output to European markets. The Kakinada facility has received pre-certification confirming compliance with EU RFNBO requirements for green ammonia, ensuring adherence to criteria like additionality and hourly matching of renewable energy sources. Major industry players like Uniper, Yara, and Keppel have already signed offtake agreements for various green hydrogen applications. To support the project, AM Green has arranged 1,300 MW of carbon-free power along with significant solar, wind, and pumped storage plant capacity. Beyond Kakinada, the company plans to expand green ammonia production across India to reach its ambitious targets. Anil Chalamalasetty, the Founder of Greenko Group and AM Green, highlighted the project's significance in delivering carbon-free energy solutions globally. This initiative aims to support the decarbonization of industries through affordable green molecules, contributing to India's and Europe's green hydrogen objectives by 2030.
