State-owned oil PSU HPCL has marked a historic achievement by launching Green Hydrogen technology at the Bengaluru refinery plant. The company has successfully implemented India's first Solid Oxide electrolysis (SOE) for Green Hydrogen at the HP Green R&D Centre in Bengaluru. This innovative technology allows the generation of 99.99% pure Green Hydrogen by utilizing power from a captive Solar plus Wind plant. One of the highlights of this system is its independence from rare earth materials, leading to a 20-30% decrease in energy consumption compared to traditional electrolyzers. This development is a significant advancement in the Green Hydrogen Mission, signifying a crucial step towards a more sustainable and eco-friendly future for the industry. HPCL's Director of Refineries, Shri S. Bharathan, has emphasized the company's commitment to energy transition, innovation, and sustainability, positioning HPCL as a frontrunner in paving the way for a greener tomorrow.
