India’s Hygenco Green Energies has invited bids for over 1,125 MW of renewable energy to support its upcoming green ammonia project. This is purportedly the largest tender for procuring renewable power for a green ammonia project in India.
Hygenco aims to procure 625 MW from solar PV projects and 500 MW through wind power. The tender offers favourable terms to minimize risk for developers and ensures a transparent procurement process, attracting a broad range of participants in the renewable energy sector.
Green ammonia, produced using renewable energy, is considered a crucial solution in energy transition. Globally, the green ammonia market is projected to grow to $17.9 billion by 2030, as industries shift away from fossil fuels.
The large-scale procurement will also contribute to India’s transition toward a low-carbon economy. It also gives a significant fillip to the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which is aiming to make India a Green Hydrogen Hub by 2030.
Headquartered in Gurgaon, India, Hygenco develops and deploys green hydrogen and green ammonia assets. The company has commissioned India’s first green hydrogen project in Hisar. It is looking to invest $2.5 billion over three years to set up Green Hydrogen projects in India.
Greenzo Energy has announced that it has secured a green hydrogen project through a competitive bidding process. The project will be implemented at the 2×660 MW Ennore SEZ Supercritical Thermal Power Plant, owned by the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corp. Ltd (TANGEDCO), a public sector undertaking owned by the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Under the project, Greenzo Energy will establish a hydrogen generation plant with a capacity of 20 normal cubic meters of hydrogen per hour. The electrolyzers for the project will be designed and manufactured at Greenzo Energy’s facility in Sanand, Gujarat.
Greenzo Energy, incorporated in 2021, is a full-value chain green hydrogen energy solutions provider. It develops, owns, and operates renewables and green hydrogen infrastructure. With a diverse portfolio including solar, wind, ammonia, and hydrogen projects, Greenzo has completed over 2 GW of solar EPC and consultancy projects across India and other countries.
In January this year, Greenzo unveiled its indigenously designed alkaline electrolyzer for green hydrogen production. The alkaline electrolyzer, designed as a modular unit, will be available in capacities ranging from 0.5 MW to 5 MW, ensuring scalability to meet varying energy demands.
ECL said it will build the “first fully sustainable” 1 GW AI factory data center on a site spanning more than 242.81 hectares east of Houston, Texas, with Lambda as its first tenant. “The initial phase of TerraSite-TX1 will be delivered in the summer of 2025 at a cost of approximately $450 million, with 50 MW of data center capacity to be utilized by data center cloud and AI cloud operators,” said the data center-as-a-service company, noting that the data center will be hydrogen-powered. “The entire 1 GW site will be constructed at a cost of approximately $8 billion, with funding to be provided by ECL and financial partners.”
GE Vernova has been selected by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to lead an AI-supported project that addresses the challenges of siting, permitting, and installation across the hydrogen value chain. The company will enter award negotiations worth $1 million in federal funding with the DOE to finalize the project’s terms and scope. GE Vernova said that H2Net is expected to develop an AI assistant trained on critical documents for safe hydrogen handling and permitting.
Hyundai Motor Group has unveiled its end-to-end hydrogen solutions, which span the entire hydrogen value chain and include waste-to-hydrogen (W2H) and plastic-to-hydrogen (P2H) technologies. These technologies produce hydrogen from organic waste, such as food and sewage sludge, and from non-recyclable plastic. The company highlighted South Korea’s first W2H facility in Chungju, which converts food waste into hydrogen and supplies it to nearby refueling stations, during the event at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX) near Seoul.
Ecoclean has collaborated with Germany’s Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoffforschung Baden-Württemberg to commission their first jointly developed, production-ready electrolyzer. The P200 consists of two modular units with 1 MW of output and features a modular system based on alkaline pressure electrolysis, offering a system output of 1 MW to 20 MW. The partners have also established capacities for series production of the electrolyzers, which are already available on the market. They said they designed the initial production stage for an output of 200 MW per year, which can easily be doubled based on market developments.
CPH2 has completed the factory acceptance test (FAT) for its MFE110 electrolyzer, which reportedly produced hydrogen and oxygen at the pre-determined specifications for commercial deployment. The MFE110 will now be shipped to Northern Ireland Water for site installation, integration, and commissioning before commencing commercial hydrogen and oxygen production, said the UK-based electrolyzer producer.
