L&T Energy GreenTech has entered a long-term agreement with Japan's ITOCHU Corporation to supply 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually. The production will be based in Gujarat, India, specifically targeting the decarbonization of the maritime shipping sector through low-carbon fuels. This partnership supports India's goal of producing 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen and derived fuels by 2030. By linking production in India to global trade hubs like Singapore, the deal helps establish a scalable supply chain for green maritime bunkers.

L&T Energy GreenTech will supply 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year to ITOCHU. The project is based in Gujarat and targets the maritime fuel market. This follows a trend of Indian producers exporting low carbon fuels to Japan and South Korea.

The scale of this offtake requires significant dedicated renewable capacity. Does the proposed Gujarat facility have secured power purchase agreements or integrated wind and solar to avoid grid congestion? The capacity factor for the electrolyzers will determine the actual annual yield.

This deal relies heavily on India's state subsidies for green hydrogen. The critical factor will be the certification standards used to verify the carbon intensity of the ammonia for the Japanese market. Clear accounting is needed to ensure these credits are not double counted.

Moving green ammonia into maritime bunkers is a major step, but the storage and handling infrastructure at the ports is the real bottleneck. I am curious about the cost of retrofitting existing ammonia terminals to handle these volumes safely.
