14 Jun 2022 CW Team

Adani Enterprises told the media that it has partnered with TotalEnergies for the creation of the world’s largest green hydrogen ecosystem.

Under the partnership, TotalEnergies will hold a 25% minority interest in Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL).

The company said that ANIL will develop a green hydrogen production capacity of 1 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) before 2030. It is India’s largest commitment toward the green hydrogen project.

After investing in ANIL, the strategic partnership between the Adani Portfolio and TotalEnergies will include LNG terminals, the gas utility, renewables businesses, and green hydrogen production.

Chairman of Adani Group, Gautam Adani, said that to become the largest green hydrogen player in the world, the strategic partnership with TotalEnergies includes several dimensions, including research and development (R&D), market reach and an understanding of the end consumer to understand the market demand.

Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, Patrick Pouyanne, said that the company's entry into ANIL is a milestone in implementing a renewable and low carbon hydrogen strategy to decarbonise the hydrogen in European refineries by 2030 and become a pioneer in mass production of green hydrogen to meet demand.

He added that the future production capacity of 1 mtpa of green hydrogen will be a major initiative in increasing the company's share of new decarbonised molecules, including biofuels, biogas, hydrogen, and e-fuels, to 25% of its energy production and sales by 2050.

TotalEnergies is one of the world's biggest oil and gas producers and has been shifting into the renewable energy sector and currently diversifying away from hydrocarbon-centred activities.

Centre Clears Power Distribution Upgrade for Uttar Pradesh

The Central Government has approved power distribution projects worth Rs 407.39 billion for Uttar Pradesh under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS). The investment will be used to modernise the state's electricity distribution infrastructure and strengthen network capacity across urban and rural areas. The package targets one of the country's largest distribution networks as the state experiences rapid urbanisation and rising electricity consumption. Planned interventions include the strengthening of distribution lines, modernisation of substations, replacement of ageing electrical ..

India Data Centres To Consume 191 TWh By 2040 Driving Renewables

A Wood Mackenzie report says India's operational data centre capacity is projected to increase more than fivefold to 12 gigawatt (GW) by 2030 from 2.2 GW in 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing drive demand. It projects electricity consumption to rise from 10 terawatt-hour (TWh) in 2025 to 191 TWh by 2040. The study forecasts a compound annual growth rate of around 40 per cent and notes AI-dedicated capacity will surge nearly 24-fold from 275 megawatt (MW) in 2025 to 6,546 MW by 2030. The report places India's digital economy at Rs 32 trillion (tn) in 2025 and says it contr..

Hydrogen Train Completes 1,200 Kilometres Of Trials

India's first hydrogen train was flagged off between Jind and Sonipat on July 17 and has travelled over 1,200 kilometres in trials, saving diesel consumption of more than 3,200 litres, a Railway Ministry press release said. The deployment marks the introduction of a zero-emission fuel cell train into route testing and represents a milestone in domestic rail innovation. The train generates electricity onboard through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, producing electricity to propel the vehicle while emitting only water vapour as a by-product. There is no smoke and no tailpipe car..
