AM Green and Port of Rotterdam Authority eye green energy supply chain
India-based AM Green, a leader in green hydrogen and ammonia production, and the Port of Rotterdam Authority, the Netherlands have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to focus on building a green energy supply chain between India and Northwestern Europe via Rotterdam, Europe’s first energy port and a key hydrogen carrier's entry point.
According to a statement, this includes the supply of bunkering fuels and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and analysing requirements for the development of terminal infrastructure in Rotterdam and along the supply chain to Northwestern Europe.
Furthermore, the partnership will jointly support the development of strategic port infrastructure for safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels and products, and link India’s Net Zero Industrial Clusters to Europe, enabling exports of up to 1 million tonnes annually.
The envisaged supply chain can enable trade of green fuels up to US$1 billion between the two economies.
AM Green is pursuing its ambitious goal to develop 5 million tonnes of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to approximately 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen, to meet the rising global demand for green fuels.
Initial production is set to start in Kakinada, India.
This partnership is part of our ambitious global growth strategy in green fuels, including 5 MTPA of green ammonia and 1 MTPA of SAF. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in establishing a global carbon-free energy ecosystem. It will enable the seamless movement of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe, reinforcing AM Green’s position as a global clean energy transition platform and accelerating industrial decarbonization globally, said Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of AM Green and Greenko Group.
The Port of Rotterdam plays a leading role as a critical logistics and hydrogen hub for the European continent, with some 13 percent of the total energy demand in Europe entering via Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Together, they aim to fulfil India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe’s ambitious decarbonization goals.
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, said Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority.
