Greenko Group is reportedly in discussions with REC, a state-run power financier, to secure funding for its green hydrogen and green ammonia project with a capacity of 600 MW, according to sources familiar with the matter. It is understood that Greenko aims to raise between Rs 22-24 billion from REC. One source indicated that once financial closure is achieved, the company intends to finalise firm and definitive agreements with the lender.
The project has already secured an offtake agreement with Yara of Norway and has received pre-certification for ammonia production. The offtake agreement, which involves a commitment to purchase or sell goods ahead of production, is expected to facilitate project financing. In May of this year, Greenko signed a term sheet with Yara Clean Ammonia, a trader and distributor of ammonia, for the supply of renewable ammonia from Phase 1 of AM Green's ammonia production facility in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh.
