JERA and AM Green Ammonia team up on supply offtake agreement
Under the HoA, JERA and AM Green have agreed upon the terms of supply of approximately 70,000 metric tons of green ammonia annually over five years with potential extension of term for additional supply from AM Green’s production facility in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India, to Japan. This marks one of the first large scale green ammonia based bunkering initiative globally.
Green ammonia will be produced at AM Green’s Kakinada facility in Andhra Pradesh, India, 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 ensuring the product meets internationally recognized low-carbon standards and is benchmarked against the European market requirements.
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. Through these facilities, the 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.
