Talks are taking place between fertilizer manufacturers and the country’s renewable energy ministry to assess potential demand for the feedstock, Bhupinder Singh Bhalla, the department’s top bureaucrat, said in an interview.
Successful bidders would be offered incentives to help drive down costs of clean ammonia, which is produced using emissions-free green hydrogen and can be an alternative to natural gas for fertilizer firms.
“The number is not final yet, but we may be looking at perhaps around half a million tons of green ammonia,” to begi with, according to Bhalla. A small initial tender would offer lessons for future development of the sector, he said.
