Reliance's $3B Green Ammonia Deal

Reliance Industries, India's biggest company, has signed a major deal to sell green ammonia to Samsung C&T from South Korea. This agreement is worth over $3 billion and will last 15 years, starting in late 2029.

Deal Basis

Reliance will supply green ammonia to Samsung under the firm supply and purchase agreement (SPA). It's one of the largest long-term agreements for green ammonia globally. The second part of the fiscal year 2029, which concludes in March 2030, is when supplies start.

What is Green Ammonia?

Nitrogen and hydrogen generated by clean, renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power are combined to produce green ammonia. It functions as a clean fuel and produces no carbon emissions, unlike conventional ammonia derived from fossil fuels. It is essential for the easy storage and long-distance transportation of hydrogen.

Why this Matterns for Reliance?

Reliance is developing a complete renewable energy system that includes solar panels, batteries, and devices that split water to produce hydrogen. This agreement supports India's National Green Hydrogen Mission to export clean fuels and aids in the expansion of its green hydrogen company. This is the first of many collaborations to support Mukesh Ambani's new energy division.

Bigger Picture

The agreement reduces the use of fossil fuels and promotes the world's transition to low-carbon energy. It establishes India as a leading exporter of renewable energy. Samsung receives a consistent supply of clean ammonia for use in fertilizers and chemicals.
