【采购】日本JERA与印度AM Green签署五年约7万吨/年绿氨供应协议 主要供应船用氨燃料供应链[Procurement] Japan's JERA Signs Five-Year HoA for ~70,000 t/a Green Ammonia from India's AM Green to Feed Japan's Marine Ammonia Fuel Chain

Green Fuel International Business Network has learned that Japanese power generation company JERA and India's AM Green Ammonia signed a binding heads of agreement (HoA) on 27 October for the long-term supply of approximately 70,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually over five years, with an extension option, from AM Green's 1.5-million-tonne-per-year green hydrogen-to-ammonia complex at Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.

1. Delivery and end use

The ammonia will be delivered to storage and distribution facilities near JERA's Hekinan thermal power station in Aichi Prefecture, primarily supplying a fuel-sales joint venture of Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK). The two are members of a seven-company Japanese consortium that announced on 27 October plans for an ammonia fuel supply chain in Japan's Chubu region, using a new bunker vessel to supply four ammonia-fuelled car carriers mainly at Nagoya and Mikawa, with completion due in 2030.

2. Project background

The first 500,000 t/a phase at Kakinada is under construction and expected to start up in 2027, with the full complex commissioning in 2028-29. AM Green has received USD 100 million in development funding from JICA, has supply agreements with Germany's Uniper and RWE, and in September won a 10-year EUR 585 million renewable ammonia contract in the second H2Global auction.
