The company will supply the electrolyzers in two phases of 640 MW each for the production of green hydrogen and its conversion into green ammonia.</p>
<p>As part of the agreement, the two companies will develop a 2 GW per year electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh This plant will supply the second phase of 640 MW of electrolyzers to the AM Green Kakinada project.</p>
<p>CertifHy has certified the Kakinada facility as compliant with EU RFNBO requirements for green ammonia, including additionality and renewable energy timeliness.</p>
<p>AM Green has already executed offtake agreements for this project for intended end use in various green hydrogen applications.</p>
<p>AM Green aims to reach 5 MTPA of green ammonia capacity by 2030 to support its efforts to achieve net zero targets in India and the OECD markets.</p>
<p>The output from the new facilities will be equivalent to approximately 1 MTPA of green hydrogen, accounting for one-fifth of India’s target for green hydrogen production under the National Green Hydrogen Mission and 10% of Europe’s target for green hydrogen imports.</p>
<p>Recently, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (<a href="https://mnre.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MNRE</a>) set aside ₹44.4 billion (~$535.6 million) to incentivize electrolyzer manufacturing to reduce hydrogen production costs in the country as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission.</p>
<p>The mission aims to promote the development of a green hydrogen production capacity of 5 million tons per year. It envisages an investment of over ₹8 trillion (~$96.5 billion) and the creation of over 600,000 jobs by 2030.</p>
<p>In January, Reliance Electrolyzer Manufacturing, John Cockerill Green Hydrogen Solutions, Jindal India, and Adani New Industries were among the <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/reliance-jindal-adani-win-seci-electrolyzer-auction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">winners</a> of Solar Energy Corporation of India’s tender to set up 1.5 GW of electrolyzer manufacturing capacities across India.</p>
