AM Green has recently formalised a significant partnership with the Port of Rotterdam Authority, marking a pivotal step towards establishing a green energy supply chain between India and northwestern Europe. This collaboration is designed to enhance the infrastructure necessary for the safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels and products. The agreement is projected to facilitate the export of up to 1,000,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually, potentially creating a trade landscape valued at up to $1 billion.
The strategic focus of this initiative includes supplying bunker fuel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) while assessing the infrastructure needs for terminal development in Rotterdam, known as Europe’s foremost energy port. This collaboration aims to bridge Indian net-zero industrial clusters with European markets, thereby enabling the seamless movement of green molecules across borders. Anil Chalamalasetty, founder of AM Green and the Greenko Group, noted, “This partnership is part of our ambitious global growth strategy in green fuels including 5 MTPA (million tonnes per annum) of green ammonia and 1 MTPA of SAF.”
As the world increasingly pivots towards decarbonisation, the demand for clean energy sources is expected to surge. AM Green is well-positioned to meet this demand, having committed to developing a robust production capacity of 5,000,000 tonnes of green ammonia by 2030—equating to roughly one million tonnes of green hydrogen. Initial operations are set to commence in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, where the company plans to convert an existing urea plant into a green ammonia production facility. This conversion will be supported by renewable energy, with AM Green securing a long-term partnership with John Cockerill to acquire the necessary advanced pressurised alkaline electrolyzers, which will facilitate low-cost production through round-the-clock renewable sources.
The Kakinada project reflects not only AM Green’s ambitious production goals but also its determination to contribute significantly to global renewable energy efforts. With production targeted to begin as early as the second half of 2026, it is anticipated that the facility will play a crucial role in facilitating the supply of green ammonia for the burgeoning clean energy market in Europe, aligning with regional decarbonisation objectives.
Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, expressed optimism regarding the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to collaborate with AM Green BV to further strengthen our commitment to the energy transition. This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. With India’s vast potential for green hydrogen production, combined with Rotterdam’s strategic location and advanced infrastructure, the collaboration will lead to a robust and sustainable green energy supply chain between the two regions.”
This agreement and the related projects underscore the increasing importance of international collaboration in combatting climate change, highlighting the roles that innovative technologies and strategic partnerships will play in shaping a sustainable energy landscape. As AM Green moves forward with its developments, it not only aims to cement its position as a leader in green hydrogen production but also to foster vital links between emerging markets and established economies in the quest for a carbon-neutral future.
