印度政府投資公司(GIC Holdings)、阿布紮比投資局(Abu Dhabi Investment Authority)和日本歐力士公司(ORIX corp)支持的格林科集團(Greenko Group)計劃向德國最大的天然氣交易商Uniper供應綠色氨，這可能是印度首筆無排放燃料的出口交易。綠氨將由Greenko集團旗下的Greenko ZeroC私人有限公司在Kakinada設立的年產100萬噸生產設施供應。兩家公司周二簽署了一份諒解備忘錄(MoU)和主要條款協議，就每年向德國主要公司供應25萬噸綠氨進行排他談判。這是在烏克蘭戰爭後俄羅斯向歐洲供應能源存在不確定性的背景下發生的。隨著美國領導的由七國集團(G7)和歐盟(EU)組成的全球聯盟對俄羅斯石油和天然氣實施價格上限，德國正在尋求多樣化的能源來源，以滿足本國的需求。聲明稱:“Uniper和Greenko ZeroC私人有限公司(Greenko集團的綠色分子生產部門)今天宣布簽署諒解備忘錄(MoU)和主要條款，讓Uniper就Greenko ZeroC在Kakinada的氨生產設施的第一階段的綠色氨進行獨家談判。”聲明補充說:“除了綠色氨，Uniper和Greenko還打算合作將類似的靈活可再生電力部署到其他氫產品，如e -甲醇和可持續航空燃料。”綠色氫是通過在電解槽中分解水而產生的。產生的氫可以與氮結合，製成綠色氨，用於儲存能量和製造化肥。格林科最近還與新加坡企業集團吉寶公司(Keppel Corp.)合作，共同探索建立一個25萬噸綠色氨生產設施。 Also, Greenko Group and Belgium’s John Cockerill are setting up a 2 GW electrolyzer factory in India, one of the world’s largest, through their joint venture, that will require an investment of $500 million. “Under the MoU, Greenko and Uniper intend to negotiate a first of its kind innovative pricing, supply and tenure structure for a supply and purchase agreement for 250,000 tonnes per annum of Green Ammonia (GASPA) based on the Heads of Terms. Greenko’s Kakinada project is a multi-phase green ammonia production and export facility adding up to 1 MTPA of Green Ammonia production capacity by 2027," the statement added. Green hydrogen is an important part of India’s energy transition, with the government recently launching the ₹19,700 crore National Green Hydrogen Mission. India has set a target to produce 5 million tonnes (mt) of green hydrogen by 2030 and is encouraging green hydrogen exports to Japan, South Korea, and Europe. “Today, Indian companies can supply the most competitive green hydrogen/green ammonia due to availability. The availability of the lowest cost for solar power combined with engineering prowess makes India an ideal place for a green hydrogen production hub," India’s petroleum and natural gas minister Hardeep Singh Puri said at the 9th Asian Ministerial Energy Roundtable. Greenko has India’s largest operational clean energy portfolio of 7.5 gigawatt (GW) and is building 50-gigawatt hour (GWh) of storage capacity on pumped storage technology (PSP), as part of its plan to set up an energy storage cloud platform of 100 GWh. National Investment and Infrastructure Fund’s (NIIF) Ayana Renewable Power Pvt. Ltd. has also partnered with Greenko Group to store 6-GWh of power in hydro pump storage plants that Greenko is building at Pinnapuram in Andhra Pradesh. “We are partnering with a world-class technology partner in John Cockerill and will jointly develop large-scale green molecule projects in India. We are extremely delighted to partner with Uniper through this offtake agreement for our project which will eventually displace LNG imports and strengthen India’s green molecule ambitions as part of a wider renewable energy program that will see India run the world’s largest energy transition program," said Anil Chalmalasetty, chief executive officer and founder and managing director of Greenko said in the statement.
