Source-<\/strong>This post on Green Ammonia Production<\/strong> has been created based on the article “Competitive Bidding initiated for total available capacity of 5.39 Lakh MT\/annum of Green Ammonia intended for production and supply”<\/a><\/strong> published in\u00a0\u201cPIB\u201d<\/strong> on 8 June 2024.<\/p>\n

Why in News?<\/h2>\n

Recently, Solar Energy Corporation of India initiated Competitive Bidding for Green Ammonia Production.<\/p>\n

About Green Ammonia Production<\/h2>\n

1. As part of India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has launched a Request for Selection (RfS) to identify producers of Green Ammonia.<\/p>\n

2. This move is under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme<\/strong>, managed by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE).<\/p>\n

3. SECI aims to allocate a total of 5.39 lakh metric tonnes per annum of Green Ammonia production capacity through this initiative.<\/p>\n

4. The selection process involves e-bidding followed by an e-Reverse Auction to ensure cost-effectiveness and transparency.<\/p>\n

5. The Green Ammonia produced under this initiative is designated for supply to fertilizer companies, supporting sustainable agriculture practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

About SIGHT Programme Details<\/h2>\n

1. SECI is the appointed agency to implement the Green Ammonia Production incentive under Mode 2A of the SIGHT Programme.<\/p>\n

2. Under the same programme, MNRE has already allocated 4.12 lakh metric tonnes per annum of Green Hydrogen production capacity and 1.5 GW per annum of Electrolyzer manufacturing capacity.<\/p>\n

About National Green Hydrogen Mission<\/h2>\n

1. It was launched on January 4, 2023.<\/p>\n

2. It aims to make India self-reliant in clean energy.<\/p>\n

3. The mission is designed to reduce carbon emissions, lessen dependency on fossil fuel imports, and position India as a leader in Green Hydrogen technology and markets globally.<\/p>\n

About Green Ammonia<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0 Green ammonia is synthesized using hydrogen obtained from water electrolysis and nitrogen<\/strong> extracted from the air. These components are combined in the Haber process,<\/strong> which is powered by renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n

2. The Haber Process:<\/strong> In the Haber process, hydrogen and nitrogen react at high temperatures and pressures to form ammonia (NH3).<\/p>\n

3. The key to green ammonia is that the entire process, including the energy for the Haber process, is sourced from 100% renewable and carbon-free options.<\/p>\n

Uses of Green Ammonia<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0 Green ammonia serves as a cleaner fuel alternative for engines in locomotives and ships, aiming to replace traditional diesel and marine fuel oils.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 It can be used as a fuel source for generating electricity.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 As a primary component in fertilizer production, it supports sustainable agricultural practices.<\/p>\n

4. Green ammonia is a versatile feedstock used in various applications, including water purification and pharmaceutical manufacturing.<\/p>\n
