JERA Co, Inc. (JERA) and AM Green Ammonia entered into a binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) with AM Green regarding the long-term supply of green ammonia produced in India.

As part of it, JERA and AM Green have agreed upon supply of approximately 70,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually over five years, with potential extension of term for additional supply, according to a release. 

The green ammonia is intended to be supplied through receiving, storage and distribution facilities being developed adjacent to JERA’s Hekinan Thermal Power Station in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

Green ammonia would primarily be supplied to a business venture jointly to be established by Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, which plans to utilize an ammonia bunkering vessel to supply fuel to ammonia-fueled car carriers.

Low-Carbon Standards

This marks one of the first large scale green ammonia based bunkering initiative globally. The green ammonia meets internationally recognized low-carbon standards and is benchmarked against the European market requirements.

Green ammonia will be produced at AM Green’s Kakinada facility in Andhra Pradesh, planned to be commissioned by 2028/29. 

The facility will be supported by AM Green’s innovative round-the-clock renewable energy architecture, reinforced by pumped-hydro storage, powered by advanced alkaline electrolysis technology, the release added.
