Bhubaneswar, April 19 -- ReNew Energy Global Plc., has signed an initial agreement with JERA Co. Inc., Japan's largest power generation company, to jointly explore the development of a green ammonia production plant in Paradip, Odisha.

The proposed plant will utilise around 500 MW of high-capacity utilisation factor (CUF) renewable energy to produce green hydrogen, which is a key feedstock for green ammonia.

The plant is expected to have a production capacity of approximately 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2030.

JERA will have the right to offtake the green ammonia produced at the plant for Japan. ReNew Energy and JERA will conduct a joint study to evaluate the commercial viability of the project.
