A high-level Japanese delegation from Mitsubishi Gas Chemical met Paradip Port Authority (PPA) Chairman Shri P. L. Haranadh and Deputy Chairperson Shri T. Venu Gopal to discuss the port\u2019s expanding role in supporting green energy exports.<\/p>\n
The visit follows a signing of a ten-year agreement under which ACME Group will supply 100,000 tonnes of green methanol annually to Mitsubishi from its planned Paradip facility in Odisha.<\/p>\n
Core investment<\/strong><\/p>\n The ACME agreement forms part of Odisha\u2019s \u20b967,000 crore investment programme for green hydrogen, ammonia and methanol production, reinforcing Paradip\u2019s ambitions to become a major gateway for sustainable marine fuels and IMO-compliant shipping.<\/p>\n Just recently, India\u2019s Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has approved the development of a new jetty and associated port infrastructure for handling green hydrogen, ammonia and other liquid cargo at Paradip.<\/p>\n The project, estimated to cost more than \u20b9797 crore, will be delivered by the Paradip Port Authority on a build-operate-transfer basis.<\/p>\n According to Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal, the development will increase cargo handling capacity while attracting investment, creating employment and supporting the growth of a green energy ecosystem in eastern India.<\/p>\n The ministry said the facility will be designed to handle other liquid cargo alongside green hydrogen and ammonia during the sector\u2019s early growth phase, ensuring efficient asset utilisation and diversifying the port\u2019s cargo profile.<\/p>\n This intention to combine international offtake agreements and new port infrastructure will propel Paradip Port forward to play an increasingly significant role in green energy export and adoption across the region and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Paradip Port is strengthening its position as a green energy export hub through new international partnerships and investment in port infrastructure for alternative fuels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":6517,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,42],"tags":[40,1945,36,879,2638,2310,539],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-6516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-asia-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-fuel-export","tag-green-hydrogen","tag-green-methanol","tag-liquid-cargo-handling","tag-paradip-port-authority","tag-port-infrastructure"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6516"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6518,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6516\/revisions\/6518"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6516"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=6516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
