Tecnimont, NextChem Launch GAIL's First Green Hydrogen Plant

12 Jul 2024 CW Team

The plant utilises electrolysis technology to produce green hydrogen from water, powered by renewable energy sources. This process ensures that the hydrogen produced is entirely free of carbon emissions, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change. The project is part of a broader strategy to integrate green hydrogen into India's energy mix, supporting the country's ambitious renewable energy targets.

GAIL's green hydrogen plant is expected to produce approximately 4.3 tonnes of hydrogen per day. This output will be utilised in various industrial applications, including refining and chemical production, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of these processes.

The collaboration between Tecnimont and NextChem brings together advanced technological expertise and a strong commitment to sustainability. Tecnimont's CEO, Pierroberto Folgiero, highlighted the project's importance in fostering innovation and driving the adoption of green hydrogen technologies in India.

The plant also features state-of-the-art monitoring and control systems to ensure optimal efficiency and safety. By harnessing renewable energy for hydrogen production, the facility sets a new benchmark for sustainable industrial practices in the region.

This initiative is expected to pave the way for further green hydrogen projects across India, contributing to the nation's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. The successful launch of GAIL's green hydrogen plant underscores the potential of renewable hydrogen as a key component of India's sustainable energy future, promoting environmental stewardship and economic growth.
