Construction begins on green ammonia plant
HHP Five Private Limited, a subsidiary of Hygenco Green Energies Pvt Ltd, has held a foundation-laying ceremony at the site of the company’s new green ammonia plant in Gopalpur, Odisha. Hygenco is developing a green ammonia production facility with a total planned capacity of 1.1 million t/a. The project will be executed in three phases, beginning with Phase 1 in 2028, which will deliver an initial output of 220,000 t/a. This will be followed by Phase 2 in 2029, adding another 220,000 t/a to the production capacity. By 2030 and beyond, the facility will enter its third phase, which aims to significantly scale operations with an additional 730,000 t/a, bringing the total annual production to 1.1 million t/a. This phased approach reflects Hygenco’s long-term commitment to advancing green hydrogen derivatives and supporting global decarbonisation goals. It follows Hygenco’s earlier commissioning of India’s first commercial-scale green hydrogen plant, which is supporting emission reductions in the steel industry.
Amit Bansal, co-founder and CEO of Hygenco, emphasised the company’s broader mission: “Following our success in green hydrogen, this new venture into green ammonia will help drive industrial decarbonisation while creating export potential. It’s a step toward building a self-reliant energy future for India.”
