Electrolyzer

Japanese scientists have developed an organic-inorganic halide perovskite compound for the chemical storage of ammonia (NH3), while Bosch is preparing to exhibit new products in the hydrogen value chain.

NTPC, India’s largest power company, will use Hild Electric’s green hydrogen production technology to decarbonize energy, transport and ammonia projects.

The Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has launched the tender to set up 1.5 GW of electrolyzer manufacturing capacity in India under the government’s incentives scheme.

The draft R&D roadmap recommends research and development actions for each part of the green hydrogen value chain, including hydrogen production, storage, transport, and end-use applications.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has notified the guidelines for its incentive schemes to promote the domestic production of green hydrogen and electrolyzers. 

Green hydrogen holds the potential to decarbonize critical sectors and provide clean energy solutions. However, it accounts for less than 1% of global hydrogen production. Targeted interventions are required to facilitate a smooth transition toward a green hydrogen economy.

Industry body India Hydrogen Alliance has submitted a plan to the government to build five large national green hydrogen corporations with a collective enterprise value of $5 billion by 2030. The plan shows public finance support, in the form of CAPEX and offtake incentives for National Green H2 Hubs, is crucial for creating financially viable green hydrogen infrastructure, especially in the initial 2024-30 period.

Ohmium’s proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers will be used by NTPC to decarbonize energy, transport and ammonia projects.

The council will identify technology trends in green energy, analyze the evolving global policy developments, evaluate emerging business models, and advise on collaborations.

The Indian multinational EPC company is setting up a pressurized alkaline electrolyzer factory with a capacity of 1 GW per annum. It expects to produce the first few electrolyzers from this facility by March next year.
