Green Hydrogen

A new report by Arthur D. Little presents an integrated blueprint for India to achieve its true potential in the power sector with a focus on renewables.

Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL), a state-owned natural gas company, has signed a deal with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. to explore collaboration opportunities in renewables and new energy projects.

Haryana-based Hygenco plans to develop and rapidly scale up multiple green hydrogen facilities across India in the next two years.

Jakson Green, a new energy platform backed by Jakson Group, will set up a 365,000 tons per annum green hydrogen and green ammonia plant in Rajasthan. It will develop the plant, along with an integrated hybrid renewable power complex, in phases with a cumulative investment of about INR 22,400 crore. 

NTPC and Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) have signed an agreement for hydrogen co-firing in MHI’s gas turbines installed at NTPC Auraiya gas power plant in Uttar Pradesh. The two companies will collaborate to carry out the study and identify key actions for introducing hydrogen co-firing blended with natural gas.

The Group will invest more than INR 60,000 crore ($7.28 billion) in setting up renewable energy projects, including green hydrogen, in the Indian state of Rajasthan.

Longi is entering the green hydrogen market in India with its alkaline electrolyzer offerings. It will also roll a next-generation Hi-MO solar module later this year, which, it says, will outshine all the prevailing panel technologies. 

NTPC and GE Gas Power will collaborate to explore the feasibility of hydrogen co-firing blended with natural gas in GE’s 9E gas turbines installed at NTPC’s Kawas gas power plant in Gujarat. NTPC will provide H2 required for the project.

Renewables developer Amp Energy India will deploy Ohmium’s proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers for mid-scale commercial and industrial projects with an individual capacity of 25 MW or smaller.

Jakson Green will expand its solar module manufacturing capacity to 2 GW, with backward integration into cells, by the end of 2024, CEO and Managing Director Bikesh Ogra told pv magazine on Day 1 of Renewable Energy India Expo 2022. He said the company also has aggressive plans for green hydrogen and ammonia, with a specific focus on distributed generation.
