Hyd: Uniper–AM Green sign long-term renewable ammonia offtake from India

Hyderabad, Jan. 12 (UNI) German energy company Uniper and AM Green Ammonia India Pvt. Ltd. on Monday announced the signing of a long-term, binding offtake agreement for up to 500,000 tonnes per year of renewable ammonia from India, marking one of the first large-scale green fuel supply corridors between India and Europe.
The agreement was exchanged between Uniper CEO Michael Lewis, CBE, and AM Green Founder and Group Chairman Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty in the presence of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at an event in Ahmedabad, a release said here on Monday.
Under the deal, Uniper will source renewable ammonia certified as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) from AM Green’s projects in India.
First deliveries are expected as early as 2028, from AM Green’s 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) green ammonia plant currently under construction in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, the company said in a release here.
The agreement supports India’s ambition to become a leading global exporter of green hydrogen and green ammonia under the National Hydrogen Mission, while helping European industry decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as chemicals, fertilisers, refining and, over time, shipping.
Michael Lewis said the deal was a “key building block” in Uniper’s strategy to secure reliable access to renewable and low-carbon molecules at scale, adding that green ammonia offers competitive CO₂ avoidance costs due to its mature production process and lack of fossil carbon feedstocks.
Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty described the partnership as “a milestone for India’s role in the global energy transition,” noting that AM Green’s renewable ammonia is designed to meet stringent European RFNBO standards through firm and dispatchable clean electricity solutions.
Both companies said they will continue working with certification bodies to ensure full traceability and high-integrity emissions reporting for European end users.
