ACME, the company which has won 49% of the bid volumes is developing a green ammonia plant in Duqm, Oman as well and has signed offtake agreements with Japanese offtakers and Yara.

The low prices revealed in the bidding process indicate a green hydrogen price lower than 3 USD/kg H2, making it possible for other downstream applications such as steelmaking to start using electrolytically produced hydrogen.

These low prices have been enabled by competitive bidding process, access to cheap solar and wind, cheap industrial land allocation, access to the grid and waiver of grid banking and interstate transmission charges.

By subsidizing ammonia production from electricity ( renewables and grid), Indian government can get price certainty, create new jobs, reduce pollution and at the same time create security of supply.

India is one of the largest importers of ammonia and the government has to subsidize fertillizers to protect the domestic agriculture industry against price fluctuations in the international natural gas markets.

5-6 MWh/tCO2eq would a CO2 price of 350-420 USD/tCO2 (electricity price of 70 USD/MWh (baseload)). This is without the capex and the other costs. Producing H2-green steel requires 4-4.2 MWh/ton, and reduces 2-2.4 tCO2. The MAC could be 250-300 USD/MWh. We should invest in direct avoidance tech.
