Uniper Global Commodities SE (“Uniper”) and AM Green Ammonia India Private Limited (“AM Green Ammonia”) today announced the signing of a long-term binding offtake agreement for renewable ammonia certified as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO). The agreement, the first of its kind for an Indian company, was exchanged between Mr. Michael Lewis, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) and CEO of Uniper and Mr. Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty, Founder & Group Chairman AM Green in the presence of His Excellency German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Honourable Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today at Ahmedabad.
Under the agreement, Uniper will offtake up to 500,000 tons per year from AM Green’s green ammonia projects. First shipment is expected to happen as early as 2028 from AM Green Ammonia’s first 1 MTPA under construction plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The contract is an important milestone in India’s quest of becoming a leading exporter of green hydrogen and green ammonia to the world and is aligned with India’s Honourable Prime Minister’s vision of National Hydrogen Mission.
This agreement with AM Green Ammonia is a key building block in our strategy to provide our customers with reliable access to renewable and low carbon molecules at scale. Green ammonia stands out as one of the most promising solutions to decarbonize CO2– intensive production of chemicals, fertilizers and, through green hydrogen, also in refining. Importantly, it offers among the lowest CO2 avoidance costs compared to other renewable and low carbon molecules – thanks to its mature production process and the absence of carbon feedstock requirements. With clear, stable and credible rules – and with procurement and demand‑side measures such as clear quotas for renewable molecules that reward verified CO₂‑abatement performance – we can accelerate the decarbonization while safeguarding competitiveness. We are proud to help establish one of the first large-scale supply corridors between India and Europe.
Michael Lewis, CBE, CEO Uniper
