MHI Begins Work on Export Logistics Plan for Green Hydrogen and Ammonia from India
Japanese industrial giant Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has launched a study to develop a logistics and facility plan for exporting green hydrogen and ammonia from India.
The initiative is being carried out under Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) FY2023 Global South Future-Oriented Co-Creation supplementary program, in collaboration with India’s Hygenco Green Energies, a developer of hydrogen and ammonia projects.
As part of the effort, MHI is creating models for producing and using green hydrogen and ammonia that take into account real-world environmental conditions and the logistical constraints of transport. In August 2025, MHI signed a contract with Hygenco to obtain data on green ammonia production.
Moving forward, MHI aims to link these production and usage models to design optimal facilities under economically viable conditions. The outcome is expected to feed into a master plan for deploying carbon-neutral fuels in countries such as India and Singapore.
India has made green hydrogen and ammonia a cornerstone of its export-oriented energy strategy, with Japan viewing India as a promising supply partner in its own decarbonization roadmap.
In parallel developments, MHI in 2025 invested in iPEACE223, a Japanese start-up working on technologies to produce carbon-neutral fuels from bioethanol. The company also expanded its regional presence by establishing a branch office in Perth, Australia (MHI-AUS), to accelerate business in hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
Additionally, MHI signed an advisory agreement with Australia’s Port of Newcastle to advance its Clean Energy Precinct (CEP) project, aimed at enabling the production, storage, distribution, and export of clean fuels such as green hydrogen and ammonia.
