TKIL, CME to set up green hydrogen microgrid

01 Jul 2026 CW Team

TKIL Industries has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the College of Military Engineering, Pune, for the installation of a green hydrogen microgrid system with fuel cell energy storage at the CME campus. The project will use advanced technology from Switzerland-based SoHHytec SA to demonstrate clean, resilient and decentralised energy solutions for off-grid applications.

The initiative brings together green hydrogen production, storage and fuel cell-based power generation within an integrated microgrid framework. It is aimed at enabling reliable energy supply while reducing dependence on conventional power sources.

Under the collaboration, TKIL Industries will facilitate the installation of the system at CME, incorporating SoHHytec’s solar-driven hydrogen production technology. The integrated solution will combine renewable energy generation, hydrogen production and fuel cell-based storage to support self-sustaining power systems.

The company said the partnership reflects its focus on sustainability, clean energy adoption and industry-defence collaboration. It added that green hydrogen is emerging as an important enabler of decentralised, low-carbon and secure energy infrastructure, particularly for off-grid and industrial applications.

CME will use the project as a live demonstration and research platform to study hydrogen-based energy systems and microgrid applications. The initiative is expected to support applied research and provide hands-on exposure to future engineers and defence personnel in emerging clean energy technologies.

The project also aligns with India’s clean energy and Aatmanirbhar Bharat objectives by supporting indigenous capability development, reducing dependence on conventional fuels and strengthening future-ready infrastructure for defence applications.
