Japan’s JERA and India’s ReNew Energy are set to explore the development of a 100,000 tonne per year green ammonia plant in India which could meet Japanese demand.
Under a new agreement, ReNew E-Fuels and JERA will jointly evaluate developing a green ammonia plant in Paradip, Odisha, that will utilise 500MW of renewable energy to produce green hydrogen.
With ammonia production capacity estimated to reach 100,000 per year by 2030, JERA will have the right to offtake the hydrogen carrier for use in Japan, as the firm explores using ammonia in its power plants.
Earlier this month (April 2024), the Japanese electric producer started co-firing grey ammonia alongside coal in a demonstration trial at its thermal power plant in Japan.

Yukio Kani, Global CEO and Chair of JERA, said the Indian project was the first green hydrogen and ammonia development project for JERA.
Sumant Sinha, founder, Chairman and CEO of ReNew, said, green ammonia holds “immense potential” to reduce carbon emissions.
In January (2024), another Indian-Japanese collaboration looked to offtake Indian-produced green ammonia for use in India.
IHI Corporation signed a term sheet to import up to 400,000 tonnes of green ammonia from ACME Group’s 1.3 million tonnes per year project in Odisha.
