Land for the facility in India has been secured, said Sembcorp http://sembcorp.com , adding that feasibility study on the project has been completed https://www.investindia.gov.in/ .
As the lead developer and operator of the Project, Sembcorp will utilise renewable energy to produce an initial 200,000 metric tonnes per annum of green ammonia from the Indian plant https://www.ibef.org/ .
The HoT was signed at the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) Clean Economy Investor Forum https://www.ipefinvestorforum.org/ipefinvestorforum, and witnessed by Ken Saito, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan; Dr Tan See Leng, Second Minister for Trade and Industry, Singapore; and Sunil Barthwal, Commerce Secretary, Ministry of Commerce and Industry http://commerce.gov.in .
