Green ammonia license
What is Green Ammonia License?
Green Ammonia is produced using renewable electricity (solar/wind) to split water and fix nitrogen via the Haber-Bosch process — resulting in zero-carbon NH₃.
It is used in:
Hydrogen fuel storage & transport
Fertilizer production
Marine fuel & energy exports
Industrial heating and chemical synthesis
Who Needs This License?
- Manufacture or blend Green Ammonia
- Store Green Ammonia in pressure vessels or cryogenic tanks
- Transport ammonia in tankers, pipelines, or containers
- Import/export ammonia for industrial/fuel use
- Use ammonia as feedstock for hydrogen or chemical conversion
Documents Required for Green ammonia license
Green ammonia is ammonia (NH₃) produced using green hydrogen (from renewable-energy electrolysis) combined with nitrogen from air separation, typically through the Haber–Bosch process, making it a carbon-free alternative to conventional fossil-based ammonia. To set up a green ammonia plant in India, one must obtain a PESO license for storage, Generation and handling of ammonia, along with approvals from the State Pollution Control Board, Factory Inspectorate, and Fire Department. Details of the ammonia synthesis and storage system, safety and risk analysis reports, fire protection systems, and land/environmental clearances. The main challenges include meeting strict PESO safety distances and equipment standards, handling ammonia’s toxicity and storage hazards, coordination with multiple authorities, and long approval timelines coupled with high setup costs.
