AM Green has placed electrolyzer supply order with John Cockerill Hydrogen for its one-million-ton green ammonia project located in an existing plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. AM Green achieved Final Investment Decision (FID) in August 2024 for this first million-ton green ammonia project to be produced with 1.3 GW of electrolyzers.
The green ammonia plant is scheduled to start production in the second half of 2026.
John Cockerill Hydrogen will supply advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers, of 640 MW capacity in phase 1. The electrolyzers will produce low-cost green hydrogen through water electrolysis using 24-hour renewable energy generated from a combination of wind and solar power with pumped hydro storage.
As part of this agreement, John Cockerill and AM Green are also developing a 2 GW per year electrolyzer manufacturing plant in Kakinada. This plant will supply the second phase of 640 MW of electrolyzers to AM Green Kakinada project.
The Kakinada facility has been certified by CertifHy as compliant with EU RFNBO requirements for green ammonia, including additionality and renewable energy timeliness. AM Green has already executed offtake agreements for this project with major players for intended end use in a range of green hydrogen applications.
