Kandla Port Authority to Lead Green Hydrogen Production and Shipping Efforts
Key Ideas
  • Deendayal Port Authority in Kandla will start green hydrogen production by August 2025, supporting the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
  • The port is collaborating with major industry partners to establish giga-scale plants for green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol.
  • An MoU with NTPC will introduce eleven hydrogen-powered buses in Kandla, contributing to net-zero greenhouse gas emission goals.
  • Kandla aims to become a methanol bunker point for the Rotterdam-Singapore corridor, making it a key player in green shipping corridors.
The Chairman of Deendayal Port Authority in Kandla, Sushil Kumar Singh, announced plans to commence green hydrogen production by the end of August this year as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The port is creating an ecosystem for green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, with space allocated for giga-scale plants. A 1-megawatt demonstration plant for green hydrogen is also in the works. The collaboration with industry partners and NTPC for hydrogen-powered buses signifies Kandla's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, the port aims to establish itself as a methanol bunker point for the Rotterdam-Singapore corridor, positioning it as a leader in green shipping corridors. Despite surpassing cargo-handling targets for the fiscal year 2024-25, the port achieved this growth using existing infrastructure efficiently. Plans to utilize the remaining capacity and offer advanced berthing facilities demonstrate Kandla Port Authority's proactive approach to sustainable development.
