RWE to buy EU-certified green ammonia from India's AM Green

RWE Supply & Trading has agreed to source green ammonia for its global supply portfolio from the Indian production sites of AM Green Ammonia BV, the latter said on Wednesday.

The parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will provide the German company with up to 250,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually. The contracted volumes will come from AM Green’s facilities in Kakinada and Tuticorin in the state of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, respectively, which use solely carbon-free energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power in the production process.

Initially, 50,000 tonnes of green ammonia will be produced at the Kakinada site, while the remaining 200,000 tonnes will be sourced from the Tuticorin facility.

The produced ammonia will be certified to meet European Union (EU) standards for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO). According to the statement, AM Green’s Kakinada site has already received pre-certification and the same process is underway for its other locations.

As agreed in the MoU, deliveries of the green ammonia are due to begin by 2027. The partners are expected to sign an offtake agreement that will detail the contractual provisions.
