Uniper and AM Green Ammonia sign offtake agreement

Under the agreement, Uniper will offtake up to 500 000 tpy from AM Green’s green ammonia projects. First shipment is expected to happen as early as 2028 from AM Green Ammonia’s first 1 million tpy under construction plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India. The contract is an important milestone in India’s quest of becoming a leading exporter of green hydrogen and green ammonia to the world and is aligned with India’s Honourable Prime Minister’s vision of National Hydrogen Mission.

For Uniper, the agreement represents a significant step forward in developing a diversified portfolio of renewable and low-carbon molecules for European customers. As a feedstock and a potential hydrogen carrier, renewable ammonia will help decarbonise industrial sectors such as chemicals, fertilizers, refining, and, over time, shipping. Uniper and AM Green Ammonia will continue working with certification bodies to ensure traceability and high integrity reporting for European end-users.

Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty, Founder of Greenko Group and AM Green, commented: “This partnership is a milestone for India’s role in the global energy transition. AM Green’s renewable ammonia is designed to meet stringent European RFNBO compliance standards. This is achieved through our unique firm and dispatchable clean electricity solutions. It is enabling multiple downstream sectors including ammonia, aluminium, chemicals, and other energy-intensive industries lower their emissions significantly for India and now for the world.”

Michael Lewis, CBE and CEO of Uniper, said: “This agreement with AM Green Ammonia is a key building block in our strategy to provide our customers with reliable access to renewable and low carbon molecules at scale. Green ammonia stands out as one of the most promising solutions to decarbonise CO₂-intensive production of chemicals, fertilizers and, through green hydrogen, also in refining. Importantly, it offers among the lowest CO₂ avoidance costs compared to other renewable and low carbon molecules – thanks to its mature production process and the absence of carbon feedstock requirements. With clear, stable, and credible rules – and with procurement and demand side measures such as clear quotas for renewable molecules that reward verified CO₂ abatement performance – we can accelerate the decarbonisation while safeguarding competitiveness. We are proud to help establish one of the first large scale supply corridors between India and Europe.”

Mahesh Kolli, Co-Founder of AM Green, added: “I am happy to share that our partnership with Uniper reaffirms our offering of the lowest possible carbon footprint hydrogen/ammonia delivered at the right price point for large scale adoption for decarbonising global energy systems. This outcome reflects the focused collaboration and disciplined execution of our teams, strengthened by the strategic partnership of our investors, Gentari, GIC, ADIA – together creating an integrated ecosystem capable of delivering green ammonia at global scale with speed and reliability.”
