Himachal Sets Up North India’s First Green Hydrogen Plant

07 Feb 2025 CW Team

Himachal Pradesh has initiated North India’s first green hydrogen plant at Dabhota, Nalagarh, as part of its drive to become India’s first green state by March 2026. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu laid the foundation for the 1 MW plant, which will be developed by Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (HPPCL) and Oil India Limited at a cost of Rs 90 million.

“This initiative is a crucial step in Himachal Pradesh’s efforts to establish itself as a leader in renewable energy and sustainability,” said Sukhu. “The state is already working on adding 150 MW of solar capacity, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

The plant, spanning 4,000 square meters, will generate 423 kg of green hydrogen daily using electrolysis powered by renewable energy. It will require 13 litres of water per kilogram of hydrogen and consume 52 units of electricity per kilogram. The state aims to integrate this initiative with its 500 MW solar energy target to reduce carbon emissions.

Himachal Pradesh signed an MoU with Oil India Limited in April 2023 to collaborate on solar energy, geothermal energy, green hydrogen, and compressed biogas. “The Dabhota Green Hydrogen Plant marks a major milestone in our renewable energy journey,” Sukhu added. This project is a key part of the state’s transition to clean energy.
