Hydrogen

Economic cooperation between India and Australia may open doors for investment in clean energy technology but challenges still abound in a competitive global market. Vibhuti Garg and Shantanu Srivastava, of the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, discuss the role that public funding and resource pooling could play in supporting manufacturing ambitions.

Greenko ZeroC will supply up to 50% of renewable ammonia from Phase 1 of its ammonia production facility in Kakinada.

Scientists in Czechia have conducted a techno-economic analysis of a green hydrogen production system powered exclusively by photovoltaic and wind energy. The system uses surplus energy for water treatment and, according to its creator, can achieve a levelized cost of hydrogen of $3.12/kg.

INOX Air Products will build and operate a green hydrogen plant with a capacity of 190 tonnes per annum (TPA). The plant will supply 95 TPA of green hydrogen to Asahi India’s float glass manufacturing facility in Rajasthan in the first phase.

A new mobile power generator that combines solar and renewable hydrogen to provide zero-emissions power for remote and off-grid applications has been unveiled by Australian startup H2PowerBox.

JSW Energy posted a revenue of INR 11,941 crore and net profit of INR 1,723 crore for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

A new study evaluates seven different configurations of hybrid renewable energy systems to meet the electricity requirements of an off-grid village community in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, cost-effectively and sustainably. It finds the system combining solar PV panels, wind turbines, biogas generator, lithium-ion battery, converter, electrolyser, and hydrogen tank to be the best performing as it has the lowest fuel consumption rate, net present cost, levelised cost of energy, and cost of hydrogen.

Hygenco aims to produce 1 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green ammonia from its plant at Tata Steel SEZ’s Gopalpur Industrial Park in Odisha. The project’s initial phase is set for commissioning by December 2026.

Researchers in Spain has found that combining PV power generation with fuel cells and battery storage may help homes considerably reduce their levelized cost of energy. Their simulation reportedly demonstrated homes may also become completely self-sufficient.

Norwegian Ship Design Co. has agreed to help build what it claims will be the two largest hydrogen ships in the world, while Norwegian Hydrogen has announced plans to team up with Australia’s Provaris Energy on hydrogen export opportunities.
