AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a robust green energy supply chain connecting India and Northwestern Europe via Rotterdam — Europe’s first energy port and a critical entry point for hydrogen carriers.
Building a Green Corridor for Fuels and Infrastructure
The collaboration will focus on the supply of bunkering fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) while jointly analyzing the infrastructure requirements for developing terminals in Rotterdam and along the supply chain into Northwestern Europe. This marks a significant step toward strengthening international trade in low-carbon energy solutions.
Linking Net Zero Clusters and Hydrogen Trade
As part of the agreement, both partners will work together to develop strategic port infrastructure to safely store and distribute hydrogen-based fuels and products. A key objective is to link India’s Net Zero Industrial Clusters to European markets, with the potential to export up to 1 million tons of green fuels annually. This green energy corridor could facilitate green fuel trade worth up to USD 1 billion between India and Europe.
AM Green’s Bold Vision for Green Ammonia
AM Green is rapidly advancing its mission to build a five million tons per annum (MTPA) green ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to approximately 1 MTPA of green hydrogen. The initial production will begin in Kakinada, India, to cater to growing global demand. This large-scale ambition positions AM Green as a major player in the clean energy transition.
Rotterdam: Europe’s Gateway for Hydrogen
Meanwhile, the Port of Rotterdam plays a pivotal role as Europe’s hydrogen and logistics hub. Around 13% of the continent’s total energy demand enters through its facilities. The port’s strategic location and advanced infrastructure make it a key energy hub. Its deep hinterland connectivity strengthens its role in a cross-continental green energy supply chain.
Executive Insights
Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said, “We are delighted to collaborate with AM Green BV to further strengthen our commitment to the energy transition. This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals. With India’s vast green hydrogen potential and Rotterdam’s strategic advantages, we aim to build a reliable and sustainable green energy corridor.”
Anil Chalamalasetty, Founder of AM Green and Greenko Group, highlighted, “This partnership is part of our ambitious global growth strategy in green fuels, including 5 MTPA of green ammonia and 1 MTPA of SAF. It represents a major milestone in creating a global carbon-free energy ecosystem and will accelerate the seamless movement of green fuels from India to Europe.”
