Larsen & Toubro’s electrolyzer fab to start production this fiscal
The Indian multinational EPC company is setting up a pressurized alkaline electrolyzer factory with a capacity of 1 GW per annum. It expects to produce the first few electrolyzers from this facility by March next year.
All major ports should switch to over 90% renewable energy by 2047, say new guidelines
The recently issued green port guidelines emphasize using clean energy in port operations and developing port capabilities for storage, handling, and bunkering of greener fuels such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green methanol.
Green hydrogen demand to reach 2.85 MMT/annum by 2030
A new report estimates India will reach annual green hydrogen demand of 2.85 million metric tons (MMT) by 2030 under the current policy and project momentum. To meet this demand, it will need 62 GW of additional renewable energy capacity, 29 GW of electrolyzer capacity, and 11 MMT per annum of ammonia infrastructure, which together represent an investment opportunity of at least $57 billion.
Swiss team sets record solar-to-hydrogen rate
Researchers from Switzerland’s École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have unveiled a new solar dish plant design, while Plug Power has delivered its first electrolyzer system to Europe.
ACME Group, Indraprastha Gas Ltd sign green hydrogen agreement
ACME and Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) have agreed to jointly explore the setting up of hydrogen generation plants, including electrolyzers, to blend green hydrogen in IGL’s natural gas supply.
Jakson Green to develop green hydrogen refuelling station in New Delhi
The green hydrogen production, compression, storage, and distribution facility will be powered by an in-situ hybrid renewable power and storage plant.
Jakson Green to build CO2-to-methanol plant in partnership with NTPC
Set to commence production shortly, the CO2-to-methanol plant is being established at NTPC’s existing thermal power station in Vindhyachal, Madhya Pradesh. It will convert 20 tonnes-per-day (tpd) of CO2 to 10 tpd methanol through a catalytic hydrogenation process, utilizing CO2 from thermal plant flue gas through a carbon capture unit and green hydrogen produced by electrolysis.
L&T signs electrolyzer manufacturing agreement with McPhy Energy
Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has signed the agreement to manufacture pressurized alkaline electrolyzers in India under a technology license from France-based McPhy Energy.
