Green hydrogen

Noida-headquartered Jakson has roped in Sterling & Wilson Solar’s former global CEO, Bikesh Ogra, to lead a new venture that will focus on green hydrogen, utility-scale battery storage, and solar.

GH2 Solar is the project partner for a new green hydrogen pilot based on proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. It will have the capacity to produce 10 normal cubic meters of green hydrogen per hour.

The Indian sustainable energy company has signed an agreement with the Japanese ship operator to transport green ammonia from its projects to customers globally.

Developer ReNew Power will invest INR 50,000 crore ($6.5 billion) in solar, wind, hybrid generation, battery storage, and green hydrogen projects over a period of seven years.

GAIL, India’s largest state-owned natural gas company, has awarded a contract to an undisclosed company to install and commission a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis unit in Madhya Pradesh. The system will be powered by 10 MW of renewables, to produce around 4.3 metric tons of hydrogen per day.

A new report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) tracks key trends at major companies across India’s power sector value chain. It finds the nation is poised to lead the clean energy wave, with investors committing in response to the bold policies that are enabling the transition.

Ayana Renewable Power and Greenstat Hydrogen India have signed an agreement to jointly develop green hydrogen projects in India. The first one will be launched in Karnataka.

Norwegian renewable energy developer Statkraft has partnered Norway’s green investment company Aker Horizons to explore fully-integrated renewable power generation and green hydrogen production in India, targeting local steel and fertilizer industries.

A new report from IEEFA says green ammonia could help India significantly reduce its trillion-rupee fertilizer subsidy bill and cut dependence on liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports for fertilizer production. The report looks at leading green hydrogen to green ammonia projects worldwide and reviews the cost competitiveness of producing green ammonia using various electricity inputs – grid electricity, round-the-clock renewable power, and solar power plus batteries. It also looks at the policy interventions required for green hydrogen and ammonia projects.  

IndianOil, Larsen & Toubro, and ReNew will hold an equal stake in their proposed joint venture to develop, execute and own green hydrogen assets in India. Additionally, IndianOil and Larsen & Toubro will form a JV for the production and sale of electrolyzers.
