Indian renewable energy company AM Green has entered into a binding Heads of Agreement with Japan’s JERA Co., Inc. to supply approximately 70,000 metric tonnes of certified green ammonia annually for an initial five-year period. The ammonia will be produced at AM Green’s 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) electrolysis facility under development in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, which is expected to commence commercial operations around 2028–2029.
Deliveries will be made to JERA’s receiving and storage facilities near the Hekinan Thermal Power Station in Japan’s Aichi Prefecture. A portion of the supply will support a proposed ammonia bunkering venture involving Japanese shipping companies K Line and NYK, which plans to deploy an ammonia bunkering vessel by 2030 for next-generation ammonia-fuelled vessels. AM Green plans to use round-the-clock renewable electricity from solar, wind and pumped-hydro storage to power production.
The agreement strengthens India-Japan clean energy cooperation and supports maritime and power sector decarbonisation.
