Former MNRE Secretary Launches BGR Tech’s Hydrogen Purification System

13 Feb 2025 CW Team

BGR Tech’s advanced purification system delivers 99.999% pure, fuel cell grade hydrogen. This highly efficient system can handle high-pressure operations up to 30 bar and offers a modular design with a wide range of scalability options, providing custom solutions for diverse applications. The purified hydrogen can be used for various purposes, including fuel for fuel cells and combustion engines, as well as in industrial processes like steel annealing. This innovative system represents the future of energy, offering a highly efficient and versatile solution for hydrogen utilization. It also features a plug-and-play design, allowing for seamless manufacturing and commissioning on site without extensive fabrication.

Bhupender Bhalla, speaking at the launch, emphasized the system’s potential impact on India’s hydrogen economy: “Over the next five years, India's green hydrogen manufacturing sector has the potential for significant growth and increased competitiveness. To capitalise on this, I encourage the industry to focus on developing core competencies. I also advise BGR Tech, under the leadership of Managing Director Priya, to broaden its portfolio beyond hydrogen to include other promising gas-based fields like biogas, methanol, and green ammonia, these steps will ensure BGR Tech's future growth and its contribution to India's technological advancement.”

BGR Tech Ltd. is a key player in engineering and manufacturing specialized process equipment, leveraging in-house capabilities and strategic partnerships. By collaborating with global leaders in electrolyzer and process technology, the company is dedicated to improving hydrogen production and supporting decarbonisation efforts.

Commenting on the launch, Parthiban S, Head of Business Development, BGR Tech, said: “At BGR Tech, we're focused on reducing the energy our systems use to compete globally. We're also developing a green hydrogen market using mostly Indian-made parts. BGR Tech is committed to helping India reach its 2030 goals of achieving zero-carbon.”
