GAIL Inaugurates First Hydrogen Green Plant in Madhya Pradesh
Key Ideas
  • The first hydrogen green plant by GAIL was inaugurated in Madhya Pradesh, marking a significant step towards new and alternate energy sources.
  • The plant can produce 4.3 TPD of hydrogen through 10MW PEM Electrolyzer units with a purity of 99.999% and will be used for captive purposes initially.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to establish 5 million tonnes of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, reflecting India's ambitions in the hydrogen economy.
  • India has made progress by awarding tenders for incentives and establishing electrolyser manufacturing capacity to support green hydrogen production at scale.
In a notable development, GAIL inaugurated the first hydrogen green plant in Madhya Pradesh, showcasing a key advancement in the field of energy. The plant, set up in line with the National Green Hydrogen Mission, has the capacity to produce 4.3 TPD of hydrogen using PEM Electrolyzer units powered by renewable energy sources. The high purity of the hydrogen produced will initially be used alongside natural gas for internal processes. There are plans to later distribute the hydrogen to retail customers in the vicinity and transport it through high-pressure cascades. This initiative aligns with the government's goal under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to achieve 5 million tonnes of annual green hydrogen production by 2030, signaling a significant leap towards establishing India's presence in the hydrogen economy. The government's efforts include awarding tenders to incentivize green hydrogen production and setting up manufacturing capacity for electrolyzers, further enhancing the country's capability to produce green hydrogen on a larger scale.
