Rely Awarded EPC Contract for Green Ammonia Complex in India
Key Ideas
- Rely has secured an EPC contract to build a Green Ammonia Complex in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, with a production capacity of 2 x 1500 TPD of green ammonia.
- The project involves the conversion of an existing grey ammonia facility to green ammonia and includes 2 x 640 MW Pressured Alkaline Electrolysers for green hydrogen production.
- The facility aims to produce 1 MTPA of green ammonia for export to the European market, utilizing carbon-free power from wind, solar, and pumped hydro storage.
- The project aligns with India's net-zero targets, with future plans to expand to multiple sites across India, aiming for a total capacity of 5 MTPA by 2030, contributing to both domestic and international hydrogen import targets.
Rely has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract from AM Green India Pvt Ltd to construct a Green Ammonia Complex in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India. The complex, with a production capacity of 2 x 1500 tons per day (TPD) of green ammonia, reached its final investment decision (FID) in August 2024.
The facility will feature 2 x 640 MW Pressured Alkaline Electrolysers for green hydrogen production, making it one of the largest green hydrogen facilities in execution. It involves the transformation of an existing grey ammonia facility into a green one. The location at the Kakinada seaport on India's east coast is strategic, aiming to produce 1 million tons per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia compliant with international standards, mainly for the European market.
Rely's project has received CertifHY pre-certification for green ammonia, a first in India. The company will provide various services for the facility, including design, engineering, construction management, and commissioning. John Cockerill Hydrogen will supply the Pressured Alkaline Electrolysers, leveraging Rely's parent companies' expertise in India.
AM Green's future plans involve expanding green ammonia production to multiple sites in India, targeting a total capacity of 5 MTPA by 2030. This undertaking aligns with India's net-zero goals and contributes to global hydrogen import targets. The collaboration between Rely and AM Green marks a pivotal moment in decarbonization efforts in India's industrial sectors, emphasizing sustainable and renewable energy practices.
