Electrolyzer

The Delhi-based renewable project consultant will invest $50 million in the Gujarat facility to manufacture anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzers for green hydrogen generation. The project has received $1 million from Real Time Accelerator Fund as an angel investor in Greenzo.

India’s GR Promoter Group has entered the green hydrogen market in a joint venture with Spanish hydrogen technology solutions provider H2B2. The JV will manufacture water-based electrolyzers and develop green hydrogen production plants based on off-taker agreements.

Longi is entering the green hydrogen market in India with its alkaline electrolyzer offerings. It will also roll a next-generation Hi-MO solar module later this year, which, it says, will outshine all the prevailing panel technologies. 

Renewables developer Amp Energy India will deploy Ohmium’s proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers for mid-scale commercial and industrial projects with an individual capacity of 25 MW or smaller.

Jakson Green will expand its solar module manufacturing capacity to 2 GW, with backward integration into cells, by the end of 2024, CEO and Managing Director Bikesh Ogra told pv magazine on Day 1 of Renewable Energy India Expo 2022. He said the company also has aggressive plans for green hydrogen and ammonia, with a specific focus on distributed generation.

India will have six hydrogen electrolyzer gigafactories operational by 2025, aggregating to a combined annual capacity of over 8 GW. 

Reliance Industries says that production will begin at its 10 GW factory for solar cells and modules by 2024. It plans to double the facility’s capacity to 20 GW by 2026 and is aiming for 50 GWh of annual cell-to-pack battery capacity by 2027.

The India arm of energy giant Shell and USA-based electrolyzer specialist Ohmium have signed an agreement to cooperate on green hydrogen applications, markets, and project opportunities. 

The industry body proposes building at least 25 scalable green hydrogen projects with a cumulative electrolyzer capacity of 150 MW by 2025. The industry can then apply the expertise and experience gained from these first-generation projects to build gigawatt-scale projects in the 2025-30 period.

France’s TotalEnergies has signed an agreement with Adani Enterprises to acquire 25% of its new energy arm, Adani New Industries Ltd. The joint venture platform, ANIL, will be integrated across the value chain to drive down green hydrogen production costs. It aims to develop a green hydrogen production capacity of 1 million tons per annum by 2030.
