The Port of Rotterdam Authority announced May 26 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with AM Green focused on building a green-energy supply chain between India and Northwestern Europe via Rotterdam, Europe’s first energy port and a key hydrogen carriers entry point.
This includes the supply of bunkering fuels and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and analyzing requirements for the development of terminal infrastructure in Rotterdam and along the supply chain to Northwestern Europe.
Furthermore, the partnership will jointly support the development of strategic port infrastructure for safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels and products, and link India’s net-zero industrial clusters to Europe, enabling exports of up to 1 million tons annually.
The envisaged supply chain can enable trade of green fuels up to USD$1 billion between the two economies.
AM Green is pushing its ambitious goal to develop 5 million tons of green-ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to about 1 million tons of green hydrogen to meet the rising global demand for green fuels, with initial production starting in Kakinada.
On the other hand, the Port of Rotterdam plays a lead role as a critical logistics and hydrogen hub for the European continent with some 13 percent of the total energy demand in Europe entering via Rotterdam.
Together, they aim to fulfil India’s national green-hydrogen mission and Europe’s ambitious decarbonization goals.
“We are delighted to collaborate with AM Green to further strengthen our commitment to the energy transition,” said Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. “This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. 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 supply chain between the two regions.”
Anil Chalamalasetty, the founder of AM Green and Greenko Group, said, “This partnership is part of our ambitious global growth strategy in green fuels including 5 million tons per year of green ammonia and 1 million tons per year of SAF. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in establishing a global carbon-free energy ecosystem. It will enable the seamless movement of green molecules and fuels from India to Europe, reinforcing AM Green’s position as a global clean-energy transition platform and accelerating industrial decarbonization globally.”
