Across India, private companies are making commitments to invest billions of dollars in green ammonia technology (Supplementary Table 1). For green ammonia-based fertilizer production, the Solar Energy Corporation of India has issued a tender for procuring 0.75 million metric tons per year of green ammonia fertilizer (approximately 4% of domestic production)2. Green ammonia fertilizer production could be developed either in distributed small-scale operations at the community level7 or in large-scale plants (Supplementary Table 1). Small-scale green ammonia production units have been deployed in Canada, the United States, and Kenya, providing valuable learning opportunities for what might work in India. With India’s extensive potential solar resource, green ammonia production could be widely distributed, thus reducing transportation costs of refrigerants and fertilizers7.
