05 Mar 2024 CW Team

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has commissioned its first indigenously manufactured electrolyzer at the green hydrogen plant at A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, Gujarat.

The electrolyzer, featuring a rated power capacity of 1 MW (expandable to 2 MW), can produce hydrogen of 200 Nm3/Hr (normal meter cubed per hour), a unit to measure gas flow rate. It is equipped with two stacks and an Electrolyser Processing Unit (EPU) ML-400, which is indigenously manufactured and assembled, adhering to the latest international standards, and offers exceptional flexibility and thermal stability, the company said.

The electrolyzer will now undergo rigorous testing in the coming weeks to optimize its performance, and in turn, pave the way for full-fledged manufacturing of electrolyzers.

L&T Electrolysers, a newly incorporated entity of L&T, is focused on manufacturing pressurised alkaline electrolyzers using the technology from McPhy Energy, France. L&T Electrolysers plans to leverage its upcoming giga-scale facility in Hazira to meet the growing demand for green hydrogen, maximising product localisation through enhanced local supply chain, and automation for cost-competitiveness.
