The Hydrogen Stream: Greenzo Energy, EODev partner to launch Toyota hydrogen fuel cell-powered generators in India

Share

Greenzo Energy India Ltd (GEIL) has joined hands with France’s EODev (Energy Observer Developments) to introduce EODev’s hydrogen fuel cell power generator GEH2 equipped with Toyota technology to India and Nepal with potential plans to expand into an OEM and strategic partner for the company.

As a manufacturer of 100% made-in-India alkaline electrolyzers, Greenzo Energy will not only distribute EODev’s zero-emission generators but also provide maintenance services, targeting high-demand sectors such as agriculture, telecom, and transportation.

“By replacing conventional diesel generators, these scalable, emission-free alternatives align with India’s mission to reduce fossil fuel dependency,” stated GEIL. “This long-term partnership includes provisions for local assembly of EODev products by GEIL, supporting the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative while generating green technology jobs and strengthening the domestic hydrogen ecosystem.”

“As India’s only indigenous alkaline electrolyzer manufacturer for green hydrogen production, we add backward integration to this partnership, ensuring a seamless and sustainable supply chain for this advanced hydrogen-powered technology. EODev’s solutions have already attracted strong interest from sectors such as telecom, defense, and government,” said Sandeep Agarwal, founder and managing director of Greenzo Energy India. “With India’s push to phase out diesel generators in critical areas, this partnership marks EODev’s strategic footprint in India after establishing a strong market presence in regions such as France, Belgium, Algeria and beyond. We are projecting a business potential of $10 million in the first year of operations.”

BMW Group said it plans to switch production logistics at its facility in Regensburg, Germany, to hydrogen by 2026. The transition will help diversify the plant’s energy mix and optimize logistics processes. Starting in 2026, hydrogen-powered tugger trains and forklift trucks will be deployed for all transport and logistics tasks,” said the German company. The BMW Group Plant Regensburg logistics fleet includes about 230 tugger train haulers and forklift trucks. The transition will proceed in stages, completing by 2030.

Exolum said it has launched a business line to provide integrated logistics solutions across the hydrogen value chain, including investment in infrastructure for production, transport, and storage. The Spanish petroleum logistics company said it will manage the installation, commissioning, and operation of the facilities for both mobility and industrial applications.

BP said it will save around $200 million in annual cash costs by focusing its portfolio and cutting down on renewables and hydrogen projects. The oil and gas company has stopped 18 early-stage projects and has exited the US wind market. 

Hynfra and Egypt’s General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) said they might jointly set up a $1.6 billion ammonia production plant in Egypt. “This facility would serve as an important element in the development of a coherent ammonia logistic system, designed to connect production plants and ammonia hubs across Europe, North Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula,” said Hynfra. 

Scotland has published its first hydrogen sector export plan, forecasting the potential to annually produce up to 3.3 million tons of green hydrogen by 2045. “Hydrogen is one of Scotland’s greatest industrial opportunities since oil and gas was discovered and we have the environment, skills, knowledge, and experience to become a driving force behind the growth of the hydrogen sector in Europe and beyond,” said Scottish Acting Energy Secretary Gillian Martin.
