In India, Ammonia Energy reports the VOC Port Authority signed three green ammonia MoUs during India Maritime Week, advancing more than $5 billion in potential investment for the southern port of Tuticorin.
The largest is a $1.4 billion, 1,200-ton-per-day renewable ammonia project with ACME, to be built on land south of the port as part of the Tamil Nadu Green Ammonia Project. Two additional phases of similar size and cost are planned.
VOC Port also signed a $570 million MoU with CGS Energy for a second renewable ammonia project, sized at 300 tons per day, and a $2.9 billion MoU with Sembcorp subsidiary Green Infra Renewable Energy Farms for a common-use storage terminal serving ammonia and other liquid bulk commodities.
The port has signed 28 MoUs to date, totaling over $15 billion, as part of a push for “port-driven industrialisation,” according to VOC Port Authority chairman Susanta Kumar Purohit. He said the strategy focuses on green hydrogen, alternative fuels, and AI-integrated logistics systems, adding, “We are working extremely hard to build VOC Port into a port of the future.”
