GAIL set to commission India's first green hydrogen project in April India's state-run natural gas company, GAIL (India) Ltd, is preparing to commission the country's first green hydrogen project in the coming weeks. This pioneering initiative is slated to commence operations at GAIL's Vijaipur complex in Madhya Pradesh by April. The project comprises a 10-megawatt proton exchange membrane electrolyser imported from Canada for the production of green hydrogen. The report added that once operational, the unit is expected to produce approximately 4.3 metric tons of hydrogen per day, boasting a purity level of 99.999% by volume. The green hydrogen production unit will rely on renewable power sources, aligning with India's ambitious goal of reaching 5 million tons of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030. #chemicalengineering #GATE2025 #SubscriptionSeSelectionTak #SSST #AnkurSirKiGuidance

The Maharashtra government in India has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with seven companies, including NTPC Green Energy and L&T Green Tech, for green hydrogen projects totaling $33 billion. The projects aim to generate 60,000–70,000 job opportunities and have a combined annual production capacity of 910 kilotonnes, including 4732 KTPA of green ammonia. Maharashtra, India's second-most populous state, is positioning itself as a green hydrogen powerhouse, with ambitious policies and incentives, aligning with the Indian government's National Hydrogen Mission. The move supports Maharashtra's goal to produce 500 KTPA of green hydrogen by 2030 and attracts investments in the emerging green hydrogen market.

💬 TECNIMONT and NEXTCHEM (MAIRE) inaugurate GAIL's first green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, India. 🌱🇮🇳 🌍🔋 #hydrogen #renewableenergy #sustainability #Tecnimont #Nextchem #GAIL #India. 📅 The project, awarded in May 2022 and implemented by Tecnimont Private Limited in collaboration with NEXTCHEM (Sustainable Technology Solutions), marks a significant step in the search for sustainable energy solutions in India. The plant will produce 4.3 tons per day of green hydrogen from a 10-megawatt electrolyzer, making state-owned gas utility GAIL the first Indian company to initiate large-scale green hydrogen production. 🔍 The Vijaipur plant is in line with the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to achieve at least 5 million tons per year of green hydrogen by 2030. India aims for energy independence by 2047 and to achieve the Net Zero target by 2070. Green hydrogen is seen as a strategic element of the energy transition: it can be used for long-term storage of renewable energy, as a replacement for fossil fuels in industry, for sustainable transportation and potentially also for decentralized power generation, aviation and shipping. 🔗📌 Details: https://bit.ly/3xW5FkH .

US-based Splitwaters and Indian solar-panel manufacturer Oriana Power Join Forces 🤝 US-based Splitwaters and India-based Oriana Power have signed an agreement to develop green hydrogen projects and an electrolyzer manufacturing facility in India. Oriana Power will lead business development and project execution in India, providing Splitwaters' electrolysers and equipment for green hydrogen projects, along with EPC services. They will also build a demonstration green hydrogen production unit in India. Initially, Splitwaters will supply electrolysers and BOP equipment from the US. Oriana Power will build a new electrolyser gigafactory in India using pressurised alkaline technology provided by US start-up Splitwaters. The first phase will have 500 MW operational by 2026, with a further expansion to 1 Gw by 2027. The collaboration aims to reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) for these projects by up to 30% India Hydrogen News #india #partnership #electrolyzer #hydrogen

GAIL commissions its first green hydrogen plant (PEM) of 10MW capacity at Vijaypur complex in Madhya Pradesh GAIL, India's leading natural gas company, has taken an important step towards a greener future by commissioning its first green hydrogen plant. This plant, located at Vijaypur complex in Madhya Pradesh, has a capacity of 10MW and uses PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) Electrolyzer units to produce 4.3 TPD of hydrogen through the electrolysis of water using renewable power. With a purity of 99.999 per cent (by vol.) and produced at a pressure of 30 Kg/cm2, this plant is a significant milestone in GAIL's journey towards sustainable energy. #GreenHydrogen #PEM #SustainableEnergy

Mr. Samir Saxena, Vice President of Green Hydrogen at ReNew, discussed the potential for green hydrogen to gradually replace gray hydrogen, particularly in high-demand sectors such as city gas lines. He emphasised the likely advantage India holds in the global push for net-zero emissions, because of the country’s abundant natural resources. He further highlighted how this can position India as a key player, with the potential for other Independent Power Producers (IPPs) for support in generating sustainable hydrogen solutions. #ICGH24 #GreenHydrogen #GreenHydrogenIndia #GH2 Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) | Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Govt of India | Department of Science & Technology, Government of India | Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) | Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited | FICCI | IREDA Ltd. | EY | Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited | Indian Oil Corp Limited | ReNew | AM Green Group | Gujarat Power Corporation Limited | Power Finance Corporation Ltd. | Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited
