Green Hydrogen and Ammonia Export Facility MoU Signed in Andhra Pradesh
Key Ideas
- Juno Joule and Select Energy GmbH signed an MoU to develop a green hydrogen and ammonia export facility in Andhra Pradesh with a $1.3 billion investment.
- The facility aims to produce 180 KTPA of green hydrogen by 2029, converting it into up to one million tons of green ammonia annually for export.
- The project will create 5,000-6,000 jobs, align with European sustainability criteria, and help avoid 1.8 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year once operational.
- Construction is set to begin in 2026, with technology partners like Thyssenkrupp Nucera and KBR Inc. involved, using renewable energy sources and high-purity water supply.
Juno Joule Green Energy Pvt Ltd has partnered with Select Energy GmbH to establish a green hydrogen and ammonia export facility in Andhra Pradesh, India, with an investment of $1.3 billion. The facility, planned to be built in three phases, will focus on producing green hydrogen and converting it into green ammonia for export. The project is set to start construction in 2026 and aims to be operational by 2029, generating between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs. The initiative aligns with European sustainability frameworks and will help in avoiding 1.8 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
The collaboration includes the use of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydropower to power electrolysers for hydrogen production, as well as a desalination unit for water supply. The project will involve technology partners such as Thyssenkrupp Nucera and KBR Inc. Logistics coordination is underway with partners in Germany and the Netherlands. The effort is supported by officials from various energy and environmental organizations from both India and Europe, emphasizing a global shift towards a low-carbon economy.
