This project seeks to generate competitive green ammonia in India, which has an abundance of renewable energy resources.
In June, Kyushu Electric, Sojitz, and Sembcorp established a preliminary deal to provide green ammonia generated in this project to different industrial clients in Japan, especially in the Kyushu area.
The deal is founded on the concept that about 200,000 metric tonnes of green ammonia will be generated yearly through this project and carried to the Kyushu area to fulfil end-user demand, leveraging NYK’s experience and understanding of ammonia maritime transport.
