Gensol and Matrix Win Bid for India's First Biomass to Green Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
- Gensol Engineering and Matrix Gas & Renewables secured the bid for India's inaugural biomass to green hydrogen project.
- The project, valued at Rs 164 crore, aims to establish a 25 TPD bio-waste processing facility generating 1 TPD of green hydrogen infrastructure.
- Gensol's partnership with Westinghouse and utilization of innovative plasma-induced gasification technology will drive the project's success.
- Both companies plan to collaborate further in green hydrogen projects, emphasizing a holistic approach towards a sustainable energy ecosystem.
Gensol Engineering and Matrix Gas & Renewables have successfully emerged as the lowest bidders for India's pioneering biomass to green hydrogen project. The project, valued at Rs 164 crore, aims to establish a 25 tonnes per day (TPD) bio-waste processing facility that will produce 1 TPD of green hydrogen infrastructure. Gensol Engineering, in partnership with Westinghouse, USA, will leverage patented pre-gasification plasma-induced radiant energy-based gasification system technology for the project. Anmol Singh Jaggi, Chairman and Managing Director of Gensol Engineering, expressed the significance of converting bio-waste into hydrogen to address environmental challenges and contribute to India's energy transition. The collaboration between Gensol and Matrix, both companies having common promoters, extends to green hydrogen derivatives like green steel and green ammonia. Chirag Kotecha, whole-time director of Matrix Gas & Renewables, emphasized the project's role as a model for future green hydrogen initiatives, promoting a sustainable plasma waste-to-energy era.
