Uniper and AM Green: long-term offtake agreement for up to 500,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia

Uniper Global Commodities, from Germany, and AM Green Ammonia India announced the signing of a long-term binding offtake agreement for renewable ammonia certified as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO), on 13/01/2025. The agreement was exchanged between Michael Lewis, and CEO of Uniper and Mr. Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty, Founder & Group Chairman of AM Green, in the presence of the german Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi at Ahmedabad.

Under the agreement, Uniper will offtake up to 500,000 tons per year from AM Green’s green ammonia projects. First shipment is expected to happen as early as 2028 from AM Green Ammonia’s first 1 MTPA under construction plant in Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh), when construction work is completed.
AM Green Ammonia is a partnership among AM Green, Gentari, GIC and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA). It is developing a portfolio of green ammonia plants across Kakinada, Tuticorin and Kandla. The development is supported by a network of international partners including Casale, Air Liquide, Rely, Toyo, Gentari, NTPC Renewables and many others

"This agreement with AM Green Ammonia is a key building block in our strategy to provide our customers with reliable access to renewable and low carbon molecules at scale. Green ammonia stands out as one of the most promising solutions to decarbonize CO2- intensive production of chemicals, fertilizers and, through green hydrogen, also in refining.
Importantly, it offers among the lowest CO2 avoidance costs compared to other renewable and low carbon molecules, thanks to its mature production process and the absence of carbon feedstock requirements.
With clear, stable and credible rules - and with procurement and demand‑side measures such as clear quotas for renewable molecules that reward verified CO₂‑abatement performance - we can accelerate the decarbonization while safeguarding competitiveness. We are proud to help establish one of the first large-scale supply corridors between India and Europe", declared Michael Lewis, CEO of Uniper.
