Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for NTPC Green Energy Ltd’s green hydrogen hub project at Pudimadaka near Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh on Jan. 8. The project is the first green hydrogen hub under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The project will be developed with an investment of approx. INR 185,000 crore. This will include investment in 20 GW renewable energy capacities, making it one of India’s largest integrated green hydrogen production facilities with a capacity to produce 1,500 tpd (tonnes per day) green hydrogen and 7,500 tpd green hydrogen derivatives (including green methanol, green urea and sustainable aviation fuel), primarily targeting the export market.
“Spread over 1,600 acres, the hub will house a manufacturing facility, a green chemical zone, a chemical storage terminal, port infrastructure, a transmission corridor, a 7 GW substation, an 80 MLD (million litres per day) desalination plant, an effluent treatment plant, and other facilities, making it a comprehensive operational framework which shall be completed by 2032,” stated NGEL.
The project is estimated to generate over 57,000 employment opportunities, thereby significantly contributing to the local economy.
