RWE Supply & Trading has announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AM Green Ammonia B.V. (AMG) to secure a long-term supply of green ammonia from its Indian production facilities. The agreement specifies the delivery of up to 250,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually. This ammonia will be produced at AMG's plants in Kakinada and Tuticorin, India. Initially, the Kakinada facility will contribute 50,000 tonnes, with the remaining 200,000 tonnes coming from the Tuticorin plant.

AMG, a unit of the AM Green Group, will power its ammonia production entirely with renewable energy, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric sources. The ammonia produced will adhere to the EU’s Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) standards as set out in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III), with the Kakinada facility already pre-certified for RFNBO compliance. Certification for the Tuticorin site is in progress.

Green ammonia deliveries are anticipated to commence by 2027, with a detailed offtake agreement to follow between RWE and AMG.

Costas Papamantellos, Head of International Hydrogen Investments at RWE Supply & Trading, highlighted the company's commitment to investing in hydrogen and its low-carbon derivatives to support industries in meeting their climate targets. He emphasized that partnering with AMG allows RWE to secure green ammonia supplies at an early stage, strengthening its global supply chains.

He pointed out that the agreement reflects AM Green's innovative and flexible contracting approach, aligned with commodity trading practices. Kolli also underscored AM Green's dedication to continuous innovation and execution, reinforcing its leadership in providing low-cost green molecules such as hydrogen, ammonia, and other clean energy solutions.
