People familiar with the situation disclosed that the firm is collaborating with an advisor to facilitate the fundraising effort, aimed at enhancing its capacity to produce green hydrogen and various chemical compounds. AM Green's objective is to establish a production capacity of one million tonnes per year for green methanol. In a statement released, Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte and the renewable energy division of Malaysian state oil giant Petronas Nasional Bhd. confirmed their investment in AM Green Ammonia Holdings. According to the statement, the project is slated to generate five million tonne of green ammonia annually.
