H2GO: Reliance, L&T, Adani, John Cockerill to Start Production

12 Jul 2024 CW Team

The initiative, named H2GO, focuses on producing electrolyzers, a crucial component in green hydrogen production. Electrolyzers use renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, creating green hydrogen, a clean fuel with immense potential to reduce carbon emissions across various industries.

This collaboration aligns with India's ambitious target of producing 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030. The production of green hydrogen equipment within the country will reduce reliance on imports, promote self-reliance, and create a robust supply chain to support the growing demand for green hydrogen.

Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, emphasised the importance of green hydrogen in India's energy strategy. He stated that this collaboration would not only help meet the country's energy needs sustainably but also position India as a leading player in the global green hydrogen ecosystem.

L&T and Adani Group bring extensive expertise in infrastructure and renewable energy, while John Cockerill, a global leader in electrolyzer manufacturing, adds advanced technological capabilities. This partnership is expected to drive innovation, create jobs, and attract significant investments in the green hydrogen sector.

The H2GO initiative reflects a shared commitment to sustainability and economic growth. By developing green hydrogen equipment domestically, the partners aim to contribute to India's renewable energy goals, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote a cleaner, greener future for the nation.

Reliance Industries, Larsen & Toubro (L&T), Adani Group, and John Cockerill have announced a significant collaboration to manufacture green hydrogen equipment in India by 2025.
