India's Green Ammonia Export Potential: A Cost-Competitive Opportunity
Key Ideas
  • Indian renewable hydrogen developers see cost advantages and export opportunities in 'green ammonia' despite pricing challenges.
  • India plans to export a significant portion of its renewable hydrogen production by 2030 from coastal states like Odisha and Gujarat.
  • S&P Global Commodity Insights highlights India's competitive position in green hydrogen for global markets.
  • Market dynamics show a gap between production costs and buyer willingness to pay, posing challenges for deal closures.
Indian renewable hydrogen developers are optimistic about the potential for 'green ammonia' exports, aiming to capitalize on cost advantages despite pricing disparities. The country's goal to export over half of its targeted 5 million metric tons of renewable hydrogen by 2030 presents opportunities for emerging hubs in coastal states like Odisha and Gujarat. S&P Global Commodity Insights emphasizes India's ability to produce competitive green hydrogen, particularly appealing to regions with stringent green hydrogen consumption mandates like Europe. However, challenges arise in markets like the Far East where the threshold for clean hydrogen can be met by alternative sources. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, backed by a significant investment, is driving the growth of renewable hydrogen projects in India. Market assessments reveal a pricing mismatch between production costs and buyer expectations, hindering deal closures. Despite these challenges, the decreasing cost trends of hydrogen production globally indicate a positive outlook for India's green ammonia export ambitions.
