DÜSSELDORF, Germany and HYDERABAD, India, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Uniper Global Commodities SE ("Uniper") and AM Green Ammonia India Private Limited ("AM Green Ammonia") today announced the signing of a long-term binding offtake agreement for renewable ammonia certified as a Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO).

Under the agreement, Uniper will offtake up to 500,000 tons per year from AM Green's green ammonia projects. First shipment is expected to happen as early as 2028 from AM Green Ammonia's first 1 MTPA under-construction plant in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The contract is an important milestone in India's quest to become a leading exporter of green hydrogen and green ammonia to the world and is aligned with India's National Hydrogen Mission.
