Renewable energy firms from India and Germany are teaming up to drive green ammonia in India.
Juno Joule Green Energy Private and Germany-based energy trading.company SET Select Energy, together with its green energy subsidiary Select New Energies, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop and market green ammonia produced in Andhra Pradesh.
The agreement was formalised during the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam.
The project, strategically located on the East Coast of India near Mulapeta Port, is designed to produce up to 1 million tonnes a year of green ammonia, derived from approximately 180 ktpa (thousand tons per annum) of green hydrogen.
Developed in three phases, the project represents one of India’s most ambitious green fuel infrastructure initiatives, with an expected total investment of $1.3bn (INR 10,000 crores).
The facility will feature an integrated desalination plant to convert seawater into the high-purity water required for electrolysis. Electrolysers will be powered exclusively by a reliable and diversified mix of solar, wind, and hydropower, ensuring consistent and sustainable hydrogen production to comply with RFNBO criteria.
A dedicated pipeline will connect the production facility to port infrastructure, enabling export of green ammonia to international markets.
Felix Danger, Managing Director of Select New Energies, said, “Green energy supply is a global [play]: the project in India shows how the energy transition works and is interlinked across national borders and continents.”
Once operational, the project is expected to avoid over 1.8 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
