largest electrolyzer manufacturing plant with a capacity of 2 GW per year in Kakinada, thus contributing to the country's green hydrogen production target under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. This plant will supply the 2nd phase of 640MW of electrolyzers to AM Green Kakinada project.

AM Green’s production of green ammonia across multiple locations in India will accelerate its goal to reach 5 MTPA of green ammonia capacity by 2030, supporting its efforts to achieve net zero targets both in India and OECD markets. This output will be equivalent to approximately 1 MTPA of green hydrogen, accounting for one-fifth of India’s target for green hydrogen production under the National Green Hydrogen Mission and 10 percent of Europe’s target for green hydrogen imports.
The Kakinada facility has been certified by CertifHy as compliant with EU RFNBO requirements for green ammonia, including renewable energy timeliness. AM Green has already executed offtake agreements for this project with major players for intended end use in a range of green hydrogen applications.
“This strategic partnership with John Cockerill marks a significant step toward creating a robust green hydrogen ecosystem in India. This collaboration will position the country as a leading export hub for lowest cost green molecules that adhere to the highest standards, including EU RFNBO norms. With this collaboration, we are not just advancing India’s green hydrogen goals, but also decarbonizing industries globally like refining, shipping, fertilizers, power generation, and chemicals,’’ said AM Green, Group Chairman, Anil Chalamalasetty.
Rely, John Cockerill’s joint venture with Technip Energies, will provide EPsCm services (engineering, procurement services, construction management and commissioning services) for the entire facility.
As part of its global strategy to develop local green hydrogen ecosystems, John Cockerill has benefited from public support in India and the USA to establish its electrolyzer production sites, as well as in Europe from Belgium and France, notably for technology development.
“At John Cockerill, our aim is to help our partners deploy large-scale technological solutions to decarbonize the economy, in particular through green hydrogen. This order is a major step in the development of our hydrogen business. Our advanced electrolysis technology, combined with renewable energy solutions, will play a central role in the mass adoption of green hydrogen and green derivatives in the region and beyond. John Cockerill has a long presence in India and key partnerships in the energy, steel and defense sectors. With this first-of-a-kind hydrogen project, we are proud to actively contribute to India’s ambitious vision for a sustainable future through our collaboration with AM Green,” said John Cockerill, CEO, François Michel.
