Green Hydrogen

The green hydrogen production, compression, storage, and distribution facility will be powered by an in-situ hybrid renewable power and storage plant.

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.

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has signed the agreement to manufacture pressurized alkaline electrolyzers in India under a technology license from France-based McPhy Energy.

NTPC REL will design, develop, and install renewable energy projects (solar, wind, etc) and hydrogen energy storage systems for supplying electricity to Indian Army establishments in off-grid locations.

The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research’s Hydrogen Technology (H2T) program focuses on improving the lifetime of electrolyzers by developing thermochemically robust membranes and electrolytes, reinforced fluoropolymer membranes, graphite composite bipolar plates, and ceramic interconnects.

Berkeley Lab study shows how deep cost reductions in clean technology and India’s renewable and lithium edge can enable a pathway for cost-effective energy independence by 2047.  

Ranjit Gupta-led Ocior Energy has committed a cumulative investment of INR 80,000 crore to build two green ammonia facilities of 1mtpa each in Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat. 

Pune-based Thermax has partnered with Australia’s Fortescue Future Industries to explore opportunities for the joint development of fully integrated green hydrogen projects for commercial and industrial customers in India. They also contemplate collaborating on electrolyzer and subsystem manufacturing facilities to support green energy projects in India.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched India Energy Week 2023, a three-day event connecting India’s energy stakeholders with international counterparts to collaborate for a responsible and smart energy transition on India’s road to net zero. Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister said India is today the world’s most suitable place for investment. He called upon the stakeholders to explore every possibility in India’s energy sector and get involved with it.

John Cockerill will supply 28 units of 5 MW alkaline electrolyzers for use in the development of a green ammonia plant in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
