Insider Brief:
- The agreement supports the development of strategic port infrastructure for safe distribution of hydrogen fuel and products.
- The Memorandum of Understanding will link India’s Net Zero Industrial Clusters to Europe, enabling exports of up to 1 million tons per year.
- India-based AM Green aims to develop capacity by 2030 to produce 5 million tons of green ammonia; the Port of Rotterdam processes 13% of Europe’s total energy demand.
PRESS RELEASE: AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority signed a Memorandum of understanding 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 carriers entry point. This includes the supply of bunkering fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) 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 1,000,000 tons annually. The envisaged supply chain can enable trade of green fuels up to USD 1 Billion between the two economies.
AM Green is pushing its ambitious goal to develop 5,000,000 tons annually of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to about 1,000,000 annually of green hydrogen to meet the rising global demand for green fuels, with initial production starting in Kakinada. On the other hand, the Port of Rotterdam plays a lead role as a critical logistics and hydrogen hub for the European continent with some 13% of the total energy demand in Europe entering via Rotterdam. Together, they aim to fulfil India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe’s ambitious decarbonization goals.
Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, stated, ‘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.”
Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of AM Green and Greenko Group said, “ 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.”
