The Hydrogen Stream: IIT Madras, Hyundai to launch green hydrogen innovation centre
Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL), in collaboration with IIT Madras, will establish a 65,000 sq. ft. green hydrogen innovation centre in Chennai, enabling research, development, and deployment of hydrogen technologies.
Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL), in collaboration with IIT Madras, has unveiled the design of the Hyundai HTWO Innovation Centre—an R&D hub for green hydrogen technology and its ecosystem. The centre, supported by the Tamil Nadu government, will be located within the Discovery Satellite Campus of IIT Madras at Thaiyur, Chennai.
The initiative is part of HMIL’s INR 100 crore commitment to green hydrogen innovation in India, with partial funding through the Hyundai Motor India Foundation (HMIF) under its CSR efforts.
Spanning 65,000 sq. ft., the centre will feature advanced computational and experimental laboratories for development of digital twins of hydrogen infrastructure, electrolyser and fuel cell testing facilities, and industrial-scale pilot demonstrators.
The Centre will function as a national innovation hub, fostering collaboration among academia, industry, global experts, and policymakers — accelerating research, manufacturing, and deployment of cost-effective and scalable hydrogen technologies
NTPC has invited domestic bids for setting up a 1 tpd (tonne per day) green hydrogen plant at its NETRA facility in Greater Noida. The plant will produce green hydrogen from municipal solid waste and agricultural waste using plasma gasification technology.
The scope of work includes the design, engineering, procurement, supply, construction, erection, and commissioning of the plant, along with the supply of mandatory spares and feedstock. The selected contractor will also be responsible for operating and maintaining the plant for two years.
eCap Marine has secured two contracts to supply hydrogen propulsion systems for two bulk carriers for Norway’s Møre Sjø and two short-sea container vessels for global logistics firm Samskip. Samskip’s vessels, under construction in India, will use 2.3 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Møre Sjø’s vessels, under construction in Turkey, will measure 85 meters and have a deadweight of 4,000 tons. They are set to feature 1.7 MW hydrogen fuel cells and are scheduled for delivery in 2027.
John Cockerill said that the Belfort Commercial Court has approved its offer to acquire part of McPhy’s assets in France, ensuring continued operation of the Belfort Gigafactory. McPhy filed for bankruptcy protection in June, and John Cockerill Hydrogen submitted a bid to acquire the Belfort site, along with the company’s technologies and intellectual property. “The integration of McPhy’s expertise into John Cockerill Hydrogen is intended to accelerate the development of future generations of electrolyzers,” said the Belgian company.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Engine & Turbocharger (MHIET) has launched a new gas cogeneration system co-developed with Toho Gas. The unit can co-fire hydrogen at a maximum of 15% by volume, with a power output of 450 kW. MHIET said the companies adapted the GS6R2 city gas mono-firing engine by modifying its fuel gas and engine control systems to enable hydrogen co-firing. They conducted more than 500 hours of demonstration testing.
HysetCo has expanded the distribution capacity of its Paris-Orly airport hydrogen station to 1 ton per day. Thd project is the result of a collaboration with Groupe ADP and is supported by the French government, the European CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) Transport program, and the Île-de-France Region, said the French hydrogen company.
