Adani Mundra Cluster: Pioneering Green Hydrogen Hub in India
Key Ideas
  • Adani Enterprises, APSEZ, and Ambuja Cements form the Adani Mundra Cluster to drive economic growth and decarbonization efforts by 2050.
  • APSEZ commits to powering all port operations with renewable electricity by 2025 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
  • The cluster aims to become one of the world's largest green hydrogen hubs, with plans for significant green hydrogen production, solar and wind capacity, and electrolyser manufacturing.
  • The initiative, endorsed by the World Economic Forum, will help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors in India and reduce energy import dependency.
Three major Adani companies have come together to establish the Adani Mundra Cluster in Mundra, India, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum. This initiative aims to foster economic growth, create employment opportunities, and accelerate decarbonization efforts by 2050. The cluster will house various industries, including solar and wind manufacturing and cement production, with a particular focus on decarbonizing the challenging cement sector. APSEZ has committed to transitioning all port operations to renewable electricity by 2025 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. Ambuja Cements plans to set up a low-emission cement facility in Mundra to align with its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. A groundbreaking aspect of the Adani Mundra Cluster is its transformation into a significant green hydrogen hub, with ambitious targets for green hydrogen production, solar and wind capacities, and electrolyser manufacturing. This integrated value chain will include the production of green hydrogen derivatives like ammonia. Karan Adani highlighted the cluster's aim to become a leading green hydrogen manufacturing hub, emphasizing its role in decarbonizing challenging sectors of the Indian economy and reducing energy import reliance. Roberto Bocca from the World Economic Forum praised the initiative, recognizing Gujarat's renewable energy potential and the cluster's potential to be a prominent green hydrogen hub in South Asia. The World Economic Forum has been instrumental in fostering collaboration among stakeholders through workshops and strategic meetings to advance the Adani Mundra Cluster's objectives of decarbonization and economic growth. The cluster's endeavors reflect a positive step towards sustainable industrial development and green energy innovation in India.
