About World’s Largest Green Hydrogen & Ammonia Project:
Project Area: The green ammonia plant will be developed over 495 acres, reinforcing AP’s clean energy and green industrial growth initiatives.
Developer: The mega project, being developed by AM Green, a company of the Greenko Group, will transform an existing ammonia–urea complex into an integrated green hydrogen and green ammonia.
Investment: The project, with an estimated investment of USD 10 billion (Rs.84,000-Crore).
Capacity: The project has a total planned capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia.
- The commissioning will take place in stages, beginning with 0.5 MTPA by 2027, scaling to 1.0 MTPA in 2028, and reaching full capacity of 1.5 MTPA by 2030.
Integrated energy Infrastructure: The project features an integrated system comprising 7.5 Gigawatt (GW) of solar and wind capacity, 1,950 Megawatt (MW) of electrolyser capacity, and 2 GW of round-the-clock renewable power, supported by pumped hydro storage, including the Pinnapuram pumped storage project in Andhra Pradesh.
Policy Alignment: The project aligns with AP’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy, 2024, under which the state is seeking to attract investments in green hydrogen and green ammonia.
Employment opportunity: The project will generate up to 8,000 jobs during the construction phase, generate high-skill employment during operations and across allied industries.
Applications : The green ammonia from the facility will serve as shipping fuel, power generation input, and a feedstock for green hydrogen, contributing to international decarbonisation initiatives.
Export energy: The project would enable India’s first exports of green ammonia, with initially planned for markets such as Germany, Japan and Singapore.
