Scaling Green Ammonia: A Key Discussion at India Energy Week 2025

At the India Energy Week 2025, Gautam Reddy Kumbam, CEO of AM Green Ammonia, participated in a significant panel discussion titled ‘Scaling the Immense Potential of the Green Ammonia Value Chain’. This session brought together several influential industry leaders who shared their insights on the rapidly evolving green ammonia sector, which is poised to play a crucial role in the global energy transition. Among the experts present were Ranjit Gupta, Founder and CEO of Ocior Energy, John van der Velden, SVP of Technology and Executive Leadership Team at Linde Engineering, Sébastien Roussel, COO of Rely, Bharat Goenka, Region VP of NextChem, and Anil Kumar Taparia, COO-Green Hydrogen and Ammonia at ACME Group. The session was moderated by Ed Crooks, Vice Chairman for the Americas at Wood Mackenzie.

The discussion focused on the immense potential of green ammonia as a key enabler of the global energy transition. Green ammonia, which is produced using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, has gained traction due to its ability to serve as a sustainable energy carrier. It has the potential to decarbonize various industries, particularly the agricultural sector, through its use as a fertilizer, as well as in clean energy production, including its role in green hydrogen production and storage.

The panel explored the necessary strategies to scale the green ammonia value chain, highlighting the key challenges and opportunities in its development. One of the critical points raised was the need for a robust infrastructure to support the production, transportation, and storage of green ammonia. Experts emphasized the importance of technological advancements in improving the efficiency of ammonia production processes while reducing costs. This would make green ammonia more competitive in the market and increase its adoption on a global scale.

The role of green ammonia in achieving energy transition goals was also a central theme of the discussion. With the global push for decarbonization, green ammonia has emerged as an attractive solution due to its versatility. It can be used not only as a fertilizer but also as a clean fuel for power generation, shipping, and heavy industry. As countries set ambitious climate targets, the demand for green ammonia is expected to increase, and accelerating its production and usage could significantly contribute to achieving global energy transition goals.

In addition to technological and infrastructure challenges, the panelists also addressed the importance of policy support and regulatory frameworks to facilitate the growth of the green ammonia sector. Governments and international organizations play a key role in setting favorable policies that can incentivize investment in green ammonia technologies and infrastructure, as well as ensuring the creation of a viable market for its use.

Overall, the session at India Energy Week 2025 provided valuable insights into the evolving green ammonia landscape, emphasizing its potential in addressing some of the world's most pressing energy and environmental challenges. The discussions highlighted that, with continued collaboration, investment, and innovation, green ammonia could be a game-changer in the global energy transition.
