Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) has released an invitation for bids for the annual supply of 5,000 tons of green hydrogen to its Visakh refinery over a 25-year term. The bidding process deadline is set for January 21, 2025. To be eligible, bidders must provide an earnest money deposit, meet certain financial criteria, and demonstrate relevant experience in executing projects in the oil and gas or power sectors. Additionally, bidders will be responsible for selecting the project site, acquiring land, and constructing the green hydrogen generation unit (GHGU), including essential components like electrolysers, power systems, and purification units. The chosen developer will also handle surveys, pipeline connections, rights of way, and integration with HPCL's hydrogen distribution network. Bidders have the flexibility to build renewable energy projects or secure power through agreements to meet the GHGU's energy needs. Adherence to safety standards, obtaining statutory approvals, and compliance with local regulations are crucial aspects. The operator awarded the project will oversee GHGU operations, ensuring a consistent supply of green hydrogen. This initiative presents an opportunity for developers to leverage renewable energy sources and contribute to HPCL's sustainable hydrogen distribution network.
