Green Energy Collaboration: Connecting India to Europe via Rotterdam's Hydrogen Hub
Key Ideas
- AM Green and Port of Rotterdam Authority signed an agreement to establish a green energy supply chain between India and Northwest Europe, focusing on hydrogen-based fuels.
- The collaboration aims to develop infrastructure in Rotterdam and along the corridor to enable the efficient transportation and storage of green fuels, supporting decarbonization goals.
- The partnership targets exporting up to 1 million tons of green fuels annually, potentially unlocking $1 billion in green fuel trade each year between India and Europe.
- This initiative aligns with India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe's climate targets, marking a significant step in global energy transition efforts.
AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have entered a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a green energy supply chain connecting India and Northwest Europe. This collaboration aims to utilize Rotterdam's status as Europe's primary energy port and hydrogen hub to facilitate the transport of green fuels between the two regions. The partnership focuses on developing infrastructure for storing, transporting, and bunkering hydrogen-based fuels, including Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). By enhancing port infrastructure to support the safe handling of hydrogen derivatives, the agreement seeks to enable the export of around 1 million tons of green fuels annually, potentially unlocking $1 billion in green fuel trade per year. AM Green plans to develop 5 million metric tons per annum of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, with initial production starting in Kakinada, India. The Port of Rotterdam plays a critical role in Europe's energy and logistics landscape, handling a significant portion of the continent's energy demand. Both parties emphasize the partnership's contribution to the energy transition, supporting the National Green Hydrogen Mission in India and broader climate objectives in Europe. The collaboration signifies a key milestone in global efforts towards sustainable energy and signifies a step forward in the international growth strategy of AM Green and the Greenko Group.
