Andhra Pradesh To Host World’s Largest Green Ammonia Project

World's Largest Ammonia Project: As the world shifts toward sustainable energy, Andhra Pradesh is emerging as a global leader. In a landmark development for India’s green economy, the state is set to host the world’s largest green ammonia project in the port city of Kakinada. This project marks a significant step toward the National Green Hydrogen Mission  which will also position India as a key exporter of clean fuel to international markets.

Key Highlights: 

Andhra Pradesh is set to become a global hub for clean energy with the launch of a $10 billion, approximately  ₹83,000 crore green hydrogen and green ammonia complex in Kakinada. The project aims to produce 5 million tonnes of green ammonia annually by 2030 and aims at India's first green ammonia exports to global markets. 

The project is developed by AM Green Ammonia backed by Greenko Group, along with global investors Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) etc. It is converting an existing "grey" ammonia plant into a "green" facility, India is transitioning from being an energy importer to a major exporter of green molecules to markets like Germany, Japan, and Singapore.

What is Green Ammonia?

Green Ammonia as "clean fuel in a liquid bottle’’. Green Ammonia is made entirely from water and air powered by sun and wind. By using renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and then mixing it with nitrogen from the atmosphere, eliminating carbon emissions associated with conventional ammonia production. We get a powerful fuel that leaves no carbon footprint behind known as Green Ammonia. 

What is the Significance Of Project?  

The project aligns with India's Green Hydrogen Mission and  Andhra Pradesh Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024, which aims to make the state a "Saudi Arabia of Green Energy."

• It will help to increase the India's footprint in Global clean energy export. India has already signed offtake agreements with German giant Uniper to supply 500,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually starting in 2028.

• The project is expected to avoid nearly 2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions every year and help to achieve India's goal of Net- zero carbon emmision by 2070. 

• The project significantly contributes to India's goal of producing 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030 under theNational Green Hydrogen Mission.

Andhra Pradesh’s Kakinada Green Ammonia project demonstrates India's technological strength and commitment to a net-zero goal . Andhra Pradesh is leading the worldwide transition to sustainable energy by using its huge coastline and renewable resources in addition to fuelling domestic industries such as fertiliser and transportation by promoting the renewable energy sector.
