AM Green and Port of Rotterdam Partner to Establish Green Energy Supply Chain between India and Europe
Key Ideas
- AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam signed an MoU to develop a green energy supply chain connecting India and Northwestern Europe through Rotterdam, focusing on hydrogen-based fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuels.
- The collaboration aims to explore infrastructure requirements, support the construction of strategic port infrastructure, and enable exports of up to one million tons of hydrogen-based fuels annually, potentially worth USD 1 billion.
- The partnership aligns with AM Green's goal of producing five million tons of green ammonia by 2030 and the Port of Rotterdam's position as a key logistics hub for energy imports in Europe, emphasizing a sustainable global transition towards green energy.
- Key stakeholders, including Boudewijn Siemons and Anil Chalamalasetty, see this partnership as a crucial step towards establishing a robust and sustainable green energy supply chain, leveraging India's green hydrogen potential and Rotterdam's strategic location.
AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a green energy supply chain connecting India to Northwestern Europe through Rotterdam. The collaboration aims to facilitate the transport of hydrogen-based fuels—including bunkering fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs)—via Rotterdam, Europe’s first energy port and a central hub for hydrogen imports. As part of the agreement, both parties will explore the infrastructure requirements for terminal development in Rotterdam and along the broader supply route into Northwestern Europe. The partnership will also support the construction of strategic port infrastructure for the safe handling and distribution of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The envisioned supply chain could support exports of up to one million tons of hydrogen-based fuels annually, potentially enabling green fuel trade worth up to USD 1 billion between India and Europe. The initiative aims to link India’s Net Zero Industrial Clusters with European markets, supporting the energy transition on both continents. Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, stated, “We are delighted to collaborate with AM Green BV to further strengthen our commitment to the energy transition. This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. With India’s vast potential for green hydrogen production, combined with Rotterdam’s strategic location and advanced infrastructure, the collaboration will lead to a robust and sustainable green energy supply chain between the two regions.” Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of AM Green and Greenko Group said, “This partnership is part of our ambitious global growth strategy in green fuels including 5 MTPA of green ammonia and 1 MTPA of SAF. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in establishing a global carbon-free energy ecosystem. It will enable the seamless movement of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe, reinforcing AM Green’s position as a global clean energy transition platform and accelerating industrial decarbonization globally.” AM Green is targeting a production capacity of five million tons of green ammonia by 2030—equivalent to one million tons of green hydrogen—with initial output set to begin in Kakinada, India. Meanwhile, the Port of Rotterdam is a key logistics hub, currently accounting for around 13% of Europe’s total energy imports.
