AM Green on Monday said it had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Port of Rotterdam Authority to focus on building a green energy supply chain between India and northwestern Europe via Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
The partnership will support the development of strategic port infrastructure for safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels and products, and link India’s net-zero industrial clusters to Europe, enabling exports of up to 1,000,000 tonne annually. The envisaged supply chain can enable trade of green fuels up to $1 billion between the two economies, the company said.
The agreement includes the supply of bunker fuel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and analysing requirements for the development of terminal infrastructure in Rotterdam, Europe’s first energy port and a key entry point for hydrogen carriers, as well as along the supply chain to northwestern Europe.
AM Green is pushing its goal to develop 5,000,000 tonne of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to about 1,000,000 of green hydrogen, to meet the rising global demand for green fuels, with initial production starting in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.
On the tie-up with the Port of Rotterdam Authority, Anil Chalamalasetty, founder of AM Green and Greenko Group, said, “This partnership is part of our ambitious global growth strategy in green fuels including 5 MTPA (million tonne per annum) of green ammonia and 1 MTPA of SAF.”
The agreement will enable the seamless movement of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe, reinforcing AM Green’s position as a global clean energy transition platform and accelerating industrial decarbonisation globally, he added.
Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said, “We are delighted to collaborate with AM Green BV to further strengthen our commitment to the energy transition. This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. With India’s vast potential for green hydrogen production, combined with Rotterdam’s strategic location and advanced infrastructure, the collaboration will lead to a robust and sustainable green energy supply chain between the two regions.”
