Yara set to offtake green ammonia from AM Green project in India

Yara Clean Ammonia, a unit of Norwegian fertiliser company Yara International ASA (OSE:YAR), has signed a term sheet for sourcing renewable ammonia for its global market from a project in India.

The preliminary deal is with Greenko ZeroC, the green ammonia production arm of India’s AM Green, and covers the long-term supply of up to 50% of renewable ammonia from the first phase of AM Green’s ammonia plant in Kakinada in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The facility is set to start producing and exporting green ammonia by 2027.

“The AM Green Kakinada project expands our portfolio of ammonia produced with renewable energy and consolidates Yara Clean Ammonia’s position as a reliable supplier of low-emission ammonia to established and emerging markets like fertilizer production, cracking of clean ammonia to hydrogen, shipping fuel, power generation, and other industrial applications,” stated Yara Clean Ammonia chief executive Hans Olav Raen.

AM Green is developing a green ammonia platform that is expected to reach a total production capacity of 5 million tonnes per year by 2030. It has set up a joint venture for making electrolysers with John Cockerill.

German energy company Uniper SE is also looking to source ammonia from the Kakinada site.
