GAIL (India) Ltd has taken a significant step in India's green energy transition by commissioning its inaugural green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh. The plant, equipped with a 10-megawatt proton exchange membrane electrolyser imported from Canada, is set to produce approximately 4.3 tonnes of green hydrogen per day with a remarkable purity level of 99.999%. This milestone marks GAIL's venture into alternative energy sources, utilizing electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar energy to split water and create green hydrogen. The initiative aligns with India's ambitious National Green Hydrogen mission, which targets achieving 5 million tons of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030 to mitigate carbon emissions and address the nation's escalating energy requirements. Initially, the green hydrogen will be utilized alongside natural gas for internal processes at the Vijaipur facility, with future plans to distribute the hydrogen to retail customers in the vicinity and integrate it into the city gas distribution network. Furthermore, GAIL is actively investing in solar power infrastructure, including ground-mounted and floating solar plants at Vijaipur, to cater to the green power needs for the electrolyzer. The company is also conducting blending experiments of hydrogen with natural gas in Indore as part of its city gas distribution network, with aspirations to enhance blending ratios contingent on successful tests and regulatory approvals. Collaborative studies with Engineers India Limited and IIT Kanpur are underway to explore the feasibility of increased hydrogen blending with natural gas, surpassing current regulatory limits. GAIL's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and energy transition underscores its proactive role in fostering a greener and more sustainable energy landscape in India.
