Hydrogen

Ohmium International (Ohmium), a green hydrogen company that designs, manufactures and deploys advanced proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers, has partnered with Tata Projects, an EPC company, to execute green hydrogen projects in India.

The green hydrogen will be used as combustion fuel in HVOF coating of turbine underwater parts in addition to generating electricity through its 25 kW capacity.

Greenzo Energy has secured a $6 million order to set up a 2.5 MW green hydrogen project integrated with a solar and water treatment plant in Karnataka. The offtaker is a steel producer.

The green ammonia project to be developed in Paradip, Odisha, will have a green ammonia production capacity of around 100,000 tons per year by 2030. JERA will be the offtaker for the project.

Godrej & Boyce has supplied heat exchangers for a commercial-scale green hydrogen project in the Middle East. The heat exchangers will facilitate heat transfer across various stages of the production process.

India’s ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has vowed continued focus on renewables, energy storage and electric mobility with a view to achieving energy independence for the nation by 2047.

The electrolyzer market in India to supply green hydrogen for steel, ammonia, and methanol industries will soar from $4 billion in 2030 to $78 billion by 2050 if the nation stays on track to achieve its declared net zero target.

Advait Infratech and Norway’s TECO 2030 have collaborated to develop, manufacture, and commercialise fuel cells based on TECO 2030  technology.

The demand-supply gap for skilled workers in solar and green hydrogen sectors is a significant challenge for India’s transition towards a sustainable future. However, by prioritizing comprehensive skilling initiatives and fostering strong collaborations between the government, educational institutions, and industry stakeholders, the nation can effectively bridge this gap and unlock the full potential of its renewable energy and sustainability ambitions.

The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Government of India, has extended the deadline for submission of R&D proposals under National Green Hydrogen Mission, to April 27, 2024.
