Gentari, through its arm Gentari Renewables India Castor One, has executed a long-term power purchase agreement with AM Green Ammonia India (AMG Ammonia) to supply 650 MW round-the-clock (RTC), carbon-free power to AMG Ammonia’s upcoming green ammonia facilities.
Under the arrangement, Gentari will set up around 2.4 GWp of renewable energy capacity (solar and wind) in India and integrate it with 350 MW/2100 MWh energy storage to supply firm and dispatchable green power to AMG Ammonia’s facilities. Gentari plans to execute the project in the state of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
“The power arrangement is in line with the stringent specifications defined under the Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RNFBO) framework, which will allow AMG Ammonia to target customers in Europe in addition to all other geographies,” stated Gentari.
“Gentari is also actively developing supply chains to connect these molecules with global demand centers, alongside efforts to expand downstream solutions, including innovations in shipping and logistics to ensure efficient delivery to international markets.”
AMG Ammonia is targeting 5 million tons per year green ammonia capacity by 2030. This output will be equivalent to approximately 1 MTPA of green hydrogen, accounting for one-fifth of India’s target for green hydrogen production under the National Green Hydrogen Mission and 10% of Europe’s target for green hydrogen imports. AMG Ammonia recently achieved Final Investment Decision (FID) for its first million-ton green ammonia project located in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India.
The US Department of Energy (DoE) said in a new report that electrolysis could reduce clean-hydrogen production costs in the United States to $1/kg by 2031 through technological advancements, manufacturing, economies of scale, and clean energy system integration. “Achieving the Hydrogen Shot goal will require a strategic allocation of resources and efforts across these areas,” it said, noting the role of public support. The DoE noted that five electrolyzer technologies are now under development: proton exchange membranes (PEM), liquid alkaline, oxide-ion-conducting solid-oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC), alkaline exchange membranes (AEM), and proton-conducting solid-oxide electrolyzer cells (H-SOEC).
Evoloh said that it has signed a supply agreement with a “large, US-based renewable energy developer” for 0.5 GW of electrolyzer stacks. Jimmy Rojas, the founder and CEO of Evoloh, said the deal adds to more than 16 GW of “signed intent” for the supply of Nautilus stacks and modules. The cleantech startup is now commissioning a new pilot testing facility at its headquarters in Santa Clara, California.
ABI Research said that the global LCOH will become cost-competitive by 2030, dropping from an average of $6/kg to $7/kg to about $2.50/kg by the end of the decade. It said it expects the LCOH to fall to $1.80/kg by 2040, mainly due to lower renewable energy prices, and to reach around $1/kg by 2050 as the market matures. The research firm said it also expects rapid reductions in production capex, driven by higher electrolyzer efficiencies and lower costs, starting from 2027.
VNG AG said that it will jointly develop a 500 MW electrolyzer with HyCC to produce green hydrogen in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany. The partners will begin the approval and consultation phase in 2025, with a final investment decision expected in 2026 and operations slated to start in 2029, said Leipzig-based VNG. Hydrogen will initially supply local industries, such as SKW Piesteritz, with potential sales to industrial customers in the central German chemical triangle, depending on new hydrogen infrastructure.
The Dutch government said that it has decided to prioritize hydrogen and CO₂ infrastructure, with plans to complete the pipelines between 2031 and 2033. The Dutch cabinet also said it has decided to remove ammonia from the Delta Rhine Corridor (DRC) project, as the plan is not yet sufficiently developed and will require more time. It has also chosen not to include a reusable pipeline for the same reason, but it left open the possibility of adding these components at a later date.
