AM Green's Kakinada green ammonia project gets CertifHy pre-certification

HYDERABAD: Energy transition solutions provider AM Green, formerly known as Greenko ZeroC, on Monday said it has received the CertifHy EU RFNBO pre-certification for its green ammonia project in Kakinada, India.
Pointing out that AM Green is the first company to achieve this milestone for projects based out of India, the company said it is also an acknowledgment of India’s green hydrogen and ammonia potential.
“This pre-certification puts AM Green in a leading position to unlock the EU RFNBO market, a firm advantage as the company sets out to develop one of the world's largest green ammonia facilities in Kakinada,” the Hyderabad-based company said.
According to the company, by 2030 its production capacity will increase from one to five million tonnes per annum of green ammonia, which will be equivalent to one million tonne per annum of hydrogen.
CertifHy, a leading renewable hydrogen and e-fuels certification provider, partnered with Hinicio and Bureau Veritas to undertake the pre-certification.
The process rigorously assessed the Kakinada project's green hydrogen production processes against CertifHy’s EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme, which ensures that renewable hydrogen is produced using around-the-clock carbon-free energy and adheres to European-wide legislative criteria for the decarbonization of the transport and industrial sectors, AM Green said.
Pointing out that the European Union (EU) enforces some of the world's most stringent regulations for renewable fuels to date, AM Green said the pre-certification demonstrates its commitment to those criteria, facilitating the supply of clean energy from India to the demanding EU market.
