Coal India (CIL) has entered into an agreement with AM Green to supply 4.5 GW of renewable energy in phased manner, to the latter’s upcoming green ammonia facilities. It would be supplied through a combination of solar and wind whose capacities CIL aims to set up on pan India basis.

While the solar power capacity would be to the tune of 2.5 GW to 3 GW, wind is expected to account between 1.5 GW and 2 GW at an estimated total outlay of around INR 25,000 crore, the company said in a statement.

It further added that potential sites for wind projects will be explored in the southern states of the county. And, for solar plants in the sunny states like Gujarat and Rajasthan.

AM Green will integrate the two renewable sources supplied by CIL with pumped hydro storage to ensure a steady supply of green energy to AM Green facilities.

Commenting on the development, PM Prasad, Chairman, Coal India said, “While coal remains our mainstay in meeting India's expanding energy needs in the near term, our plans include a proactive role in building a greener and more sustainable future. This is in consonance with our commitment to become country's integrated energy provider.”

AM Green targets to produce 5 million tons per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia by 2030. This equals to approximately 1 MTPA of green hydrogen. and represents a fifth of India's target for green hydrogen production under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.

Mahesh Kolli, Founder of the Hyderabad based Greenko Group and AM Green, said, “We are delighted to partner with CIL on one of the world's largest carbon-free, renewable energy supply contracts. We aim to become one of the most cost-competitive producers of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and other green molecules in the world.”
