The Port of Rotterdam Authority and AM Green, supported by the Greenko founders, have inked a memorandum of understanding to establish a green energy supply chain connecting Northwestern Europe and India.
By connecting Europe's largest energy port with India's developing green hydrogen clusters, the alliance seeks to facilitate the yearly trade of green fuels valued at up to $1 billion.
In addition to assessing the need for additional terminal infrastructure in Rotterdam and along the supply chain to support large-scale exports, the partnership will concentrate on the supply of bunkering fuels and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).
Approximately 13 percent of Europe's total energy demand is handled by Rotterdam, making it the continent's most important energy port.
It is establishing itself as a vital hub for logistics and hydrogen, which makes it an ideal entry point for green hydrogen and its byproducts, such as ammonia, which are made in India.
“This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals,” says Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority.
“With India’s vast potential for green hydrogen production, combined with Rotterdam’s strategic location and advanced infrastructure, the collaboration will lead to a robust and sustainable green energy corridor between the two regions.”
“It will enable the seamless movement of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe,” says Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of AM Green and the Greenko Group, noting that the collaboration is part of the company's global strategy to scale up green fuels, including 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia and 1 MTPA of SAF.
In the second half of 2026, AM Green intends to start production at a green ammonia facility in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The project would cost roughly Rs.12,500 crore and will feature an ammonia conversion plant and a green hydrogen unit at a repurposed urea mill that was purchased earlier this year.
In its initial phase, the Kakinada facility is anticipated to produce 1 MTPA of green ammonia, mainly for European export markets.
A variety of green hydrogen applications are supported by the offtake agreements that AM Green has already inked with significant purchasers such as Keppel, Yara, and Uniper.
