- ACME Group plans to produce 1.3 MTPA green ammonia through a green hydrogen and green ammonia plant
- It will be located in Odisha’s Gopalpur Industrial Park for which ACME has signed a land agreement with TSSEZL
- Green ammonia produced here will be exported to the east and west markets
India’s ACME Group will build a large-scale green hydrogen and green ammonia project in Odisha’s Gopalpur Industrial Park (GIP) under a land agreement signed with the Tata Steel Special Economic Zone (TSSEZL).
The project targets to produce around 1.3 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia, to be exported to the markets in the east and west of India.
TSSZEL is providing 343 acres of its land at the GIP in Ganjam district for ACME to host the project to be powered by green hydrogen powered by renewable energy. In an official statement, ACME did not specify the projected capacity of green hydrogen or renewable energy.
ACME Group’s Founder and Chairman Manoj K Upadhyay said, “This project will help us to offer Make In India Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia to domestic and international markets at competitive price.”
The developer is partnering with Japanese heavy-industrial manufacturer IHI Corporation for the project. The duo announced a partnership for green hydrogen and green ammonia projects in February 2023.
Aiming to produce 10 MTPA of green ammonia and hydrogen globally by 2032, ACME is operating the world’s ‘1st’ integrated semi-commercial scale project producing these fuels in Bikaner, Rajasthan.
In July 2022, it announced plans to produce 1.1 MTPA green ammonia via a 1.5 GW electrolyzer and 5 GW solar project in Tamil Nadu. The company is also working with Norway’s Scatec to produce 1.2 MTPA green ammonia in Oman (see 5 GW Solar Plant For Green Hydrogen In India).
