JERA Co. (JERA) has concluded an agreement with ReNew E-Fuels Private Limited, a subsidiary of ReNew Energy Global PLC (ReNew), among the largest clean energy companies globally, to jointly develop a green ammonia production project.

Under the agreement, JERA and ReNew will jointly develop a project from basic design through detailed design for the production of ammonia in Paradip in the state of Odisha in eastern India, using ~500 MW of high capacity utilization factor (CUF) renewable energy, and to use this green hydrogen as a raw material to produce approximately 100,000 tons of green ammonia annually. Moreover, green ammonia produced from the project will be supplied to Japan approximately 100,000 tonnes annually.

Yukio Kani, Global CEO & Chair of JERA said, "Since 2017, JERA has maintained a strong partnership with ReNew, and we are pleased to expand this collaboration to the next level: the first green hydrogen and ammonia development project for JERA. This joint development agreement represents a significant milestone and an exciting advancement moving us one step closer to realizing decarbonized society, with a focus on the sustainability, affordability, and stability of future energy.”

Sumant Sinha, Founder, Chairman & CEO, ReNew said, "This collaboration marks an exciting time for both ReNew and JERA and demonstrates our commitment in accelerating the clean energy transition. Green ammonia holds immense potential in reducing carbon emissions and the project, once ready, will contribute to a cleaner future and support India's National Green Hydrogen Mission."
