Uniper Global Commodities SE (Uniper) and AM Green Ammonia India have announced the signing of a long-term binding offtake agreement for renewable ammonia certified as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO). The agreement, the first of its kind for an Indian company, was exchanged between Michael Lewis, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) and CEO of Uniper, and Anil Kumar Chalamalasetty, founder & group chairman of AM Green, in the presence of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi today at Ahmedabad.
Under the agreement, Uniper will offtake up to 500,000 tons per year from AM Green’s green ammonia projects. The first shipment is expected to happen as early as 2028 from AM Green Ammonia’s first 1 million ton per annum (MTPA) under construction plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.
For Uniper, the agreement represents a significant step forward in developing a diversified portfolio of renewable and low-carbon molecules for European customers. As a feedstock and a potential hydrogen carrier, renewable ammonia will help decarbonize industrial sectors such as chemicals, fertilizers, refining, and, over time, shipping. Uniper and AM Green Ammonia will continue working with certification bodies to ensure traceability and high integrity reporting for European end-users.
AM Green Ammonia—a partnership between AM Green, Gentari, GIC, and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA)—is developing a portfolio of green ammonia plants across Kakinada, Tuticorin, and Kandla. The first plant in this portfolio, with a 1 MTPA capacity under construction in Kakinada, reached the critical milestone of Final Investment Decision (FID) in 2024.
RWE has started commissioning a 100 MW electrolyzer in Lingen, with full capacity up to 300 MW expected by 2027, the German company confirmed to pv magazine, explaining it is one of the largest renewable hydrogen plants in Europe. The Essen-based multinational will supply hydrogen to industries, including TotalEnergies’ Leuna refinery, under a 15-year offtake contract. The gas will be transported via pipeline.
Hydrogen Utopia International (HUI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hydrogen Systems, a Saudi-based hydrogen infrastructure developer and operator of Shell-branded hydrogen refuelling stations across the region. “Under the MoU, Hydrogen Systems will provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction services and operations and management support for HUI’s planned facilities in Saudi Arabia to convert mixed waste and indestructible plastics into hydrogen,” said HUI in a press release. HUI, which focused on converting non-recyclable mixed waste plastic, tyres and hazardous waste materials into hydrogen, holds an exclusive license to InEnTec’s plastic waste-to-hydrogen technology in the entire MENA region.
RCT Hydrogen said it is about to start production of electrolyzer plants in Germany. “Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, electrolyzer stacks will be manufactured in Thuringia for initial megawatt-scale green hydrogen projects serving industrial customers,” said the Konstanz-based company. RCT Hydrogen is a joint venture between RCT Holding and China’s Guofuhee. The company plans to produce up to 250 MW of alkaline pressurized electrolyzers. “The ramp-up process has begun, and the transition to local production in Germany marks an important step toward enabling cost-effective and reliable green hydrogen production in Europe.”
