Hydrogen Fuel Cells

NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Assago Industries for the supply of green ammonia, CO₂, renewable power, and other utilities to support the production of 1,000 tonnes per day (tpd) of green urea.

Green hydrogen will scale not through isolated technology breakthroughs, but through disciplined engineering execution. Projects that embed electrolysers within robust, flexible, and future-ready Balance-of-Plant architectures will define the next phase of industrial decarbonisation and renewable energy integration worldwide.

The four-day Summit will focus on the entire power value chain, including power generation (with emphasis on clean energy systems such as solar, wind, hydro, green hydrogen, etc.), transmission and distribution, energy storage, and energy efficiency solutions.

Elcogen, a European developer of solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysers, has announced its expansion into India and the wider Asia-Pacific region with the appointment of Anil Srikar Pavuluri as business development director for the region.

NTPC’s R&D wing NETRA will set up a plasma gasification-based green hydrogen plant on its campus at Greater Noida. The plant will be designed to produce one tonne of green hydrogen per day.

The Centre of Excellence, operated from the campus of IIT Kanpur and HBTU Kanpur, will prioritize research and development focused on green hydrogen production, storage, transportation, safety standards, testing, demonstrations, and industrial use. Special emphasis will be on applied research and technological solutions for industries such as refineries, fertilizers, transportation, manufacturing, and energy systems.

The European Commission says its new grids package includes €240 billion ($281.8 billion) for hydrogen networks to 2040, alongside fresh Italian State aid for clean tech deployment.

Avaada Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GRIDCO and IIT-Bhubaneswar to establish a state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Odisha focused on integrated research, innovation, and technology development in green hydrogen.

EWE says construction has started on its 320 MW hydrogen plant in Germany as it seeks regulatory reforms, while Japan Suiso Energy and Kawasaki Heavy Industries have broken ground on a commercial-scale liquefied hydrogen terminal set to begin operations in 2030.

NTPC has developed a standalone solar microgrid system that uses hydrogen as the storage medium to deliver 200 kW of round-the-clock power year-round. Designed to replace diesel gensets at off-grid Army locations, the system provides a reliable and sustainable power supply even in harsh winter conditions, where temperatures drop to -40°C at an altitude of 4,500 meters.
