“This agreement is the latest examples of our tangible efforts to accelerate India’s green hydrogen ambitions as part of a wider program that will see India run the world’s largest energy transition programme,” said Anil Chalamalasetty, CEO and MD, Greenko. The goal of the company, according to Francois Michel, CEO of John Cockerill, is to assist partners in deploying extensive technological solutions to decarbonize the economy, particularly through green hydrogen.
