AM Green and John Cockerill Hydrogen Partner for India's Largest Green Ammonia Project
Key Ideas
- AM Green places India's largest electrolyzer order with John Cockerill Hydrogen for a one-million-ton green ammonia project with 1.3 GW of advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers.
- The project, located in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, aims to produce green hydrogen and convert it into green ammonia to support India's green hydrogen goals and decarbonize industries globally.
- John Cockerill will also collaborate with AM Green to develop India's largest electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Kakinada, contributing to the country's green hydrogen production targets under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
- The partnership between AM Green and John Cockerill is a significant step towards creating a robust green hydrogen ecosystem in India, positioning the country as a leading export hub for low-cost green molecules adhering to the highest standards.
AM Green has made the Final Investment Decision for India's largest green ammonia project in August 2024, partnering with John Cockerill Hydrogen. The project will involve the installation of 1.3 GW of advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers in two phases, aimed at producing green hydrogen and converting it into green ammonia. The facility, located in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, is scheduled to start production in the second half of 2026. The collaboration between AM Green and John Cockerill includes the development of a 2 GW per year electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Kakinada to support the production of green hydrogen. The project is aligned with India's National Green Hydrogen Mission targets and aims to accelerate the country's green hydrogen goals. The certification of the Kakinada facility by CertifHy ensures compliance with EU RFNBO requirements for green ammonia, further solidifying the project's commitment to sustainability. This partnership signifies a significant advancement in India's green hydrogen initiatives and underscores the global impact of decarbonizing industries like refining, shipping, and power generation. John Cockerill's role in providing advanced electrolysis technology and renewable energy solutions demonstrates a commitment to mass adoption of green hydrogen. The collaboration is expected to contribute to India's position as an export hub for green molecules while adhering to international standards.
