Hygenco Green Energies is preparing to export green ammonia from India to Europe after securing Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) pre-certification from Bureau Veritas under the CertifHy scheme. This certification, officially recognized by the European Commission, facilitates access to green or low-carbon hydrogen for end-users across the EU.
The CertifHy scheme provides a structured framework for certifying renewable hydrogen and e-fuels, ensuring compliance with EU regulations and international standards.
Hygenco's upcoming green ammonia plant, located at Tata Steel鈥檚 Special Economic Zone Industrial Park in Gopalpur, Odisha, is designed to produce up to 1.1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) upon full completion. The project is planned in multiple phases, with Phase 1 and Phase 2 each having a production capacity of 600 tonnes per day. The first phase is expected to become operational by 2027.
The European Commission鈥檚 RFNBO regulations extend beyond hydrogen producers in Europe and impact global suppliers seeking entry into the European market. As a result, there is significant industry interest in understanding how these regulations will be interpreted outside the EU. Bureau Veritas emphasizes the importance of pre-certification for green hydrogen projects, including hydrogen derivatives, to facilitate regulatory compliance.
The CertifHy pre-certification aligns with the EU鈥檚 Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) targets. Hygenco plans to invest $2.5 billion over the next three years to develop green hydrogen projects across India.
Additionally, First Ammonia has awarded energy service provider Worley the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract for its green hydrogen-based facility in Victoria, US. This plant, expected to be the first commercial-scale ammonia project utilizing solid-oxide electrolysers (SOEC), will have an initial production capacity of 300 tonnes per day, with potential for expansion.
