AM Green and Rotterdam ink MoU to establish green energy supply chain

The Port of Rotterdam Authority recently said it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India’s AM Green to focus on building a green energy supply chain between India and Northwestern Europe via Rotterdam, Europe’s first energy port and a key hydrogen carriers entry point. 

This includes the supply of bunkering fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) and analysing requirements for the development of terminal infrastructure in Rotterdam and along the supply chain to Northwestern Europe.

Furthermore, the partnership will jointly support the development of strategic port infrastructure for safe distribution of hydrogen-based fuels and products, and link India’s Net Zero Industrial Clusters to Europe, enabling exports of up to 1 million mt annually. The envisaged supply chain can enable trade of green fuels up to USD 1 billion between the two economies.

AM Green is pushing its ambitious goal to develop 5 million mt of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to about 1 million mt of green hydrogen to meet the rising global demand for green fuels, with initial production starting in Kakinada.

On the other hand, the Port of Rotterdam plays a lead role as a critical logistics and hydrogen hub for the European continent with some 13% of the total energy demand in Europe entering via Rotterdam. 

Together, they aim to fulfil India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe’s ambitious decarbonisation goals.

Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said: “We are delighted to collaborate with AM Green BV to further strengthen our commitment to the energy transition. This agreement marks an important step towards establishing a robust supply chain for low-carbon fuels and chemicals.

“With India’s vast potential for green hydrogen production, combined with Rotterdam’s strategic location and advanced infrastructure, the collaboration will lead to a robust and sustainable green energy supply chain between the two regions.”
