Dastur Energy, Coal India to set up blue hydrogen unit

Kolkata based Dastur Energy has given a presentation to the Ministry of Coal to set up a blue hydrogen plant with Coal India (CIL). The plan is to reportedly set up a commercial-scale demonstration plant in the east. Dastur is additionally in talks with JSPL and Dalmia Cement Bharat for coal gasification, methanol derivatives and carbon dioxide to methanol projects. 

One kilogram of hydrogen costs Rs 400 while generating the gas from coal would take Rs 110 per kg, making it a cheaper option for getting hydrogen. With India still dependent on imports for natural gas and coal being abundant, converting coal to usable fuels has been touted by Dastar Energy as the best option.
