Boots on the ground for AM Green’s Kakinada renewable ammonia project

AM Green Ammonia plans to develop the 1.5 million tons per year renewable ammonia plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The project reached an important milestone recently, as its first major equipment was erected.

The project will feature integrated renewable capacity of 7.5 GW and 2 GW of pumped storage powering about 2 GW of electrolyser capacity for electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia production. Along with John Cockerill, Technip Energies is the EPC contractor of the project.

Last month, AM Green Ammonia and Uniper signed a long-term offtake agreement which will see the latter receive up to 500, 000 tonnes per year of the RFNBO-compliant renewable ammonia output from the Kakinada project. Further offtake conversations are still underway with Yara and Keppel.
