AM Green entrusts John Cockerill with India’s largest electrolyzer order for its green ammonia complex
AM Green places India’s largest electrolyzer order with John Cockerill Hydrogen (https://hydrogen.johncockerill.com/en/) for one of the world’s largest green ammonia projects. AM Green achieved Final Investment Decision (FID) in August 2024 for this first million-ton green ammonia project to be produced with 1.3 GW of electrolyzers. John Cockerill Hydrogen will supply advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers (https://hydrogen.johncockerill.com/en/products/electrolysers/), (https://hydrogen.johncockerill.com/en/products/electrolysers/) of 640 MW capacity in phase 1 guaranteeing low-cost green hydrogen thanks to 24-hour renewable energy generated from a combination of wind and solar power with pumped hydro storage. At the end of August 2024, AM Green made the final investment decision for its first one-million-ton green ammonia project (1.3 GW of advanced pressurized alkaline electrolyzers), located in an existing plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh (https://www.amgreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AM-Green-Ammonia-Reaches-Final-Investment-Decision-FID-on-its-first-million-ton-green-27th-Aug-2024.pdf).

It includes 1.3 GW of electrolyzers to be supplied in two phases of 640MW for the production of green hydrogen and its subsequent conversion into green ammonia. This major order will expedite the delivery of the first phase of 640MW and is part of the strategic partnership agreement between AM Green and John Cockerill to work on projects that will foster the creation of a green hydrogen ecosystem in the Indian subcontinent (https://hydrogen.johncockerill.com/en/press-and-news/news/greenko-and-john-cockerill-partner-in-hydrogen-to-contribute-to-indian-economy-s-decarbonation/).
