German energy company Uniper Global Commodities SE has signed a long-term binding agreement with India’s AM Green Ammonia India Private Limited to purchase up to 500,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year. The deal was formalised during German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s official visit to India, underscoring deepening strategic cooperation between the two countries in renewable energy and industrial decarbonisation. Under the agreement, the first shipments of green ammonia produced using renewable energy and certified as a renewable fuel of non-biological origin (RFNBO) are expected to begin as early as 2028. The ammonia will be sourced from AM Green’s under-construction 1 million tonnes per annum facility in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, which achieved its final investment decision in 2024 as part of efforts to build large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production capacity. Uniper’s CEO Michael Lewis described the agreement as a key component of the company’s strategy to provide customers with reliable access to renewable, low-carbon molecules at scale, supporting energy transition goals across Europe. He noted that green ammonia can serve as both a chemical feedstock and a potential hydrogen carrier for sectors such as chemicals, fertilisers, refining and in the long term shipping fuel applications. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the agreement as an important milestone in India’s ambition to become a major global exporter of green hydrogen and green ammonia, in line with the National Green Hydrogen Mission and the country’s broader clean energy goals. The deal reflects India’s expanding role in the global clean energy supply chain and showcases the export potential of its renewable fuels industry. The partnership also aligns with Germany’s strategy to diversify energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, dovetailing with broader European efforts to decarbonise industry, strengthen energy security and support green molecule markets. #GreenAmmonia #RenewableEnergy #India #Germany #EnergyTransition #HydrogenEconomy #Decarbonisation #CleanTech #SustainableFuels #EnergyPartnership #ExportOpportunity #ClimateAction #Infrastructure
