Thermax exploring green hydrogen production through biomass, electrolysis routes

Share

Thermax is looking at both biomass as well as the electrolyser route for green hydrogen generation. The company is looking at EPC or setting up green hydrogen plants for hard-to-abate industries like steel, refineries and fertilisers, said Meher Pudumjee, Chairperson, Thermax, at the annual general meeting of the company.

Last year, Thermax partnered with Australia’s Fortescue Future Industries (FFI) to explore green hydrogen projects – including new manufacturing facilities – in India. Under the collaboration, Thermax and FFI plan to explore opportunities to jointly develop fully integrated green hydrogen projects for commercial and industrial customers in India. The two partners also contemplate development of new manufacturing facilities to support green energy projects in India.

Thermax offers integrated solutions in heating, cooling, power generation, water treatment and recycling, air pollution control, and chemicals with a focus on ensuring clean air, clean energy, and clean water. Over the years, the company has ventured into the areas of waste to energy, waste heat recovery, biomass and renewable energy, including solar, wind, and bio-CNG. Its arm, First Energy, provides group captive, build-own-operate solar and solar-wind energy solutions to industry users. Today, it has 80 MW of operational projects and 129 MW under construction.
