Japan Provides 25-Year Subsidy for ACME-IHI Green Ammonia Project in Odisha
ACME Group and Japan's IHI Corporation have secured a 25-year Contract for Difference (CfD) subsidy from the Japanese government for their 405,000-tonne per annum green ammonia project in Gopalpur, Odisha. The subsidy supports 228,000 tonnes annually, bridging the cost gap between green and conventional ammonia for Japanese off-takers starting September 2030. Additionally, 177,000 tonnes are covered under Japan's Long-Term Decarbonised Power Source Auction (LTDA), providing further revenue assurance. The project, powered by renewable energy, aims for commissioning by July 2030 and strengthens India's green hydrogen ambitions.
