AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to develop a green energy supply chain connecting India and Northwestern Europe through Rotterdam, recognized as Europe’s leading energy port. This initiative aims to facilitate the supply of bunkering fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) while assessing the necessary infrastructure requirements for terminals in Rotterdam and throughout the supply chain. The partnership will focus on the strategic development of port infrastructure to ensure the safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels.
It aims to connect India’s Net Zero Industrial Clusters with Europe, allowing for exports of up to 1,000,000 tons of green energy annually. This supply chain could generate trade valued at approximately USD 1 billion between India and Europe. AM Green is targeting an ambitious goal of achieving 5,000,000 tons of Green Ammonia production capacity by 2030, which is equivalent to about 1,000,000 tons of Green Hydrogen.
The initial production will take place in Kakinada. Conversely, the Port of Rotterdam plays a pivotal role as a logistics and hydrogen hub, with around 13% of Europe’s energy demand being met through the port. Together, these entities aim to support India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe’s decarbonization objectives.
Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating it represents a vital step in creating a comprehensive supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. The partnership leverages India’s green hydrogen production potential and Rotterdam’s strategic advantages. Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of AM Green and Greenko Group, noted that this collaboration aligns with their global growth strategy in green fuels, highlighting its significance in establishing a global carbon-free energy ecosystem.
It promises to enhance the efficient transfer of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe, reinforcing AM Green’s role in the global clean energy transition.
