Uniper to offtake half-a-million ton green ammonia from AM Green every year

Uniper Global Commodities and AM Green Ammonia India have signed a long-term binding offtake agreement for renewable ammonia certified as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO). The agreement, the first of its kind for an Indian company, was exchanged between Michael Lewis, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) and CEO of Uniper and Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty, Founder & Group Chairman AM Green in the presence of PM Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad.

Under the agreement, Uniper will offtake up to 500,000 tons per year from AM Green led green ammonia projects. First shipment is expected to happen as early as 2028 from AM Green Ammonia’s first 1 MTPA under construction plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.

For Uniper, the agreement represents a significant step forward in developing a diversified portfolio of renewable and low-carbon molecules for European customers. As a feedstock and a potential hydrogen carrier, renewable ammonia will help decarbonize industrial sectors such as chemicals, fertilizers, refining, and, over time, shipping.

Uniper and AM Green Ammonia will continue working with certification bodies to ensure traceability and high integrity reporting for European end-users.

Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty, Founder, Greenko Group and AM Green, said, “With clear, stable and credible rules – and with procurement and demand side measures such as clear quotas for renewable molecules that reward verified CO₂ abatement performance – we can accelerate the decarbonization while safeguarding competitiveness. We are proud to help establish one of the first large-scale supply corridors between India and Europe.”

Michael Lewis, CBE, CEO Uniper, held, “I am happy to share that our partnership with Uniper reaffirms our offering of the lowest possible carbon footprint hydrogen/ammonia delivered at the right price point for large scale adoption for decarbonizing global energy systems.”

Mahesh Kolli, Co-Founder, AM Green, added, “This landmark agreement shows that by aligning supply, certification and demand-side incentives, we can bring competitive, renewable molecules to European industry at scale – delivering real emission reductions.”
