Hygenco Green Energies and Ameropa have signed a term sheet in view of the potential supply of green ammonia from Hygenco's planned green ammonia plant in India. This aims at enhancing green ammonia exports from India, supporting the global transition to renewable energy and sustainable agricultural practices.

Hygenco will produce green ammonia from its forthcoming project at the Gopalpur port in Odisha. The first phase of this project will produce 600 tpd, which will achieve CoD by 2027. Phase 2a will double this to 1,200 tpd by early 2028. However, this Project will reach to its full production capacity of 1.1 MMtpy of green ammonia by 2030.

Currently, Hygenco is the only Indian company with an operational commercial green hydrogen (H₂) plant. Additionally, the company is currently developing multiple green H₂ plants in India and plans to invest $2.5 B in green H₂ and green ammonia projects in the next three years.

"Inspired by the age-old philosophy that the world is one family, we are proud to announce a visionary partnership with Ameropa to support their decarbonization goals. At Hygenco, we leverage our advanced technology and pioneering expertise in green H₂ to produce the 'Greenest of Green' ammonia, ensuring it is economical, reliable and safe. This term sheet highlights India's exceptional position to lead globally in this sector, by harnessing its abundant renewable energy resources and strong infrastructure," said Mr. Amit Bansal, co-founder & CEO, Hygenco Green Energies.

Globally, efforts are intensified to reduce carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and green H₂ and ammonia are emerging as promising alternatives to fossil fuels across various sectors, including fertilizers and energy. With India's target of producing 5 MM tonnes of green H₂ by 2030, the country is poised to become a major exporter of green ammonia.

"Ameropa reckons the undoubtable fast-tracking of green ammonia projects in Odisha state, India. The Swiss trader has decided to support Hygenco's well-advanced plans whilst nurturing the ambition of a global portfolio of low-carbon ammonia," commented Ameropa's Head of Ammonia, Beat Ruprecht.

Hygenco & Ameropa plan to start exporting green ammonia to Europe and Asian markets, focusing on establishing a reliable supply chain. The companies plan on capturing a significant share of the growing global low-carbon ammonia markets.

For Ameropa, the green ammonia will be pivotal to help the industry make low-impact fertilizers and grow sustainable agricultural practices globally. This will also significantly enhance the Swiss company's indirect emissions reduction.
