GAIL (India) Limited has marked a significant milestone in India's energy landscape by inaugurating the country's first green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh. This pioneering facility, equipped with a 10 MW proton exchange membrane electrolyser from Canada, emphasizes GAIL's dedication to promoting renewable energy sources. By harnessing solar energy to produce green hydrogen with a purity level of 99.999%, the plant aims to initially blend the hydrogen with natural gas for internal consumption at Vijaipur. However, future plans include the sale of high-pressure green hydrogen to neighboring consumers and extending its application beyond captive use. The inauguration event, attended by senior GAIL officials including Chairman and Managing Director Sandeep Gupta, highlights the company's commitment to environmental sustainability and the adoption of green energy solutions. This initiative not only showcases GAIL's proactive approach towards a low-carbon future but also contributes to India's overarching efforts to decrease its carbon footprint and embrace cleaner energy alternatives.
