SECI Calls for Bids on Green Ammonia Production

12 Jun 2024 CW Team

The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has launched a bidding process for the production of 5.39 lakh metric tonnes per annum (MT/year) of green ammonia. This initiative aims to foster the development of sustainable ammonia production in India, leveraging renewable energy sources.

SECI's call for bids is part of efforts to promote green hydrogen and its derivatives as viable alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-based energy sources. Green ammonia, produced using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, is pivotal in reducing carbon emissions and advancing India's energy transition goals.

The bidding process invites proposals from developers interested in establishing green ammonia production facilities. Successful projects will play a crucial role in scaling up India's capacity for green ammonia production, supporting the country's ambitions for energy security and environmental sustainability.

SECI's initiative aligns with India's broader strategy to promote clean energy technologies and reduce dependency on fossil fuels. It underscores the government's commitment to fostering innovation and investment in renewable energy infrastructure, thereby driving economic growth and job creation in the green energy sector.
