Building a Green Energy Bridge: Collaborative Efforts between AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority
Key Ideas
- AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority signed an agreement to focus on creating a green energy supply chain between India and Northwestern Europe via Rotterdam, emphasizing hydrogen carriers.
- The collaboration aims to develop strategic port infrastructure for the safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels, enabling exports of up to 1,000,000 tons annually and facilitating trade of green fuels worth up to USD 1 billion.
- AM Green is set to achieve 5,000,000 tons of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, supporting the global demand for green fuels, with initial production commencing in Kakinada.
- Both parties aim to support India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe's decarbonisation goals, utilizing Rotterdam's position as a critical logistics and hydrogen hub for Europe.
AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a green energy supply chain between India and Northwestern Europe. This collaboration is geared towards focusing on hydrogen carriers and includes the provision of bunkering fuels and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), along with assessing the requirements for terminal infrastructure development in Rotterdam and across the supply chain to Northwestern Europe.
The partnership also aims to develop strategic port infrastructure to ensure the safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels and products. This initiative will link India's Net Zero Industrial Clusters to Europe, allowing for annual exports of up to 1,000,000 tons and enabling trade of green fuels amounting to USD 1 billion between the two regions.
AM Green has set an ambitious target to achieve 5,000,000 tons of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, with an initial production phase starting in Kakinada. This move aligns with the increasing global demand for green fuels.
The Port of Rotterdam plays a crucial role as a pivotal logistics and hydrogen hub for Europe, with approximately 13% of the total energy demand in Europe passing through Rotterdam. Together, AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority aspire to support India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and aid in fulfilling Europe's ambitious decarbonisation objectives.
The CEOs of both entities expressed their enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the significance of establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. They emphasized the potential of India's green hydrogen production combined with Rotterdam's strategic location and advanced infrastructure to create a sustainable green energy supply chain between the two regions.
AM Green's Founder, Anil Chalamalasetty, underscored the partnership's role in their global growth strategy for green fuels, which includes targets for green ammonia and sustainable aviation fuel production. This collaboration is viewed as a milestone in establishing a global carbon-free energy ecosystem and will facilitate the seamless movement of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe, contributing to industrial decarbonisation on a global scale.
