AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to build a major green energy supply chain between India and Northwestern Europe, aiming for annual exports of up to 1 million tons of hydrogen-based fuels and a trade value of USD 1 billion.

In a significant step toward global decarbonization, India’s AM Green and the Port of Rotterdam Authority have partnered to develop a green energy supply corridor between India and Europe. The agreement focuses on the transport of green fuels—including sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and bunkering fuels—from India to Europe via Rotterdam, a key European hub for energy logistics and hydrogen imports.

The initiative supports both India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and Europe’s climate goals. As part of the agreement, both sides will explore the development of terminal and port infrastructure to safely handle hydrogen-based fuels and connect India’s Net Zero Industrial Clusters to European markets.

The envisioned supply chain is expected to handle up to 1 million tons of green fuels annually, enabling USD 1 billion in green energy trade. AM Green, backed by the founders of the Greenko Group, aims to develop 5 million tons of green ammonia production capacity by 2030, equivalent to 1 million tons of green hydrogen.

Boudewijn Siemons, CEO of the Port of Rotterdam Authority, said the collaboration would “lead to a robust and sustainable green energy supply chain between the two regions,” leveraging India’s production capacity and Rotterdam’s advanced port infrastructure.

AM Green founder Anil Chalamalasetty described the partnership as “a significant milestone in establishing a global carbon-free energy ecosystem,” positioning AM Green as a leader in the global clean energy transition.

The partnership marks a major advancement in international green energy collaboration and is set to play a vital role in global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and build sustainable industrial infrastructure.
