The "Green Cluster" in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, is a project spearheaded by AM Green to produce green ammonia and other green molecules, aiming for zero emissions from 2026. It's part of a larger strategy involving significant investments and aims to contribute to global industrial decarbonization.
Here's a more detailed look:
Focus:
The cluster will focus on producing green ammonia and other green molecules like green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel, and green olefins.
Zero Emissions:
The goal is to achieve zero emissions from operations, with a projected 0 Mt CO2e during initial operations.
Renewable Energy:
The cluster will be powered by 24/7 carbon-free energy, relying on pumped storage projects.
Green Ammonia Capacity:
The initial phase will see a production capacity of 1 million tonnes of green ammonia per year.
Other Key Components:
The cluster will also include a 2 GW electrolyzer manufacturing plant and facilities for producing other green molecules.
Integrated Utilities:
The cluster will have integrated utilities like green steam, desalinated water, and effluent treatment facilities.
WEF Initiative:
The AM Green Kakinada Cluster has joined the World Economic Forum's Transitioning Industrial Clusters initiative.
Investment and Job Creation:
The project involves an estimated $15 billion in investments and is expected to create over 10,000 jobs.
Strategic Importance:
The Kakinada Cluster is seen as a key player in global decarbonization efforts, contributing to India's net-zero targets and potentially meeting a significant portion of Europe's green hydrogen import needs.
