Mangaluru is set to establish a production unit for Green Hydrogen, a significant move towards a sustainable future. MRPL, a prominent refinery, has finalized plans to produce 500 tonnes of Green Hydrogen annually by 2026, in alignment with the city's designation as a green hydrogen cluster. The electrolysis process for hydrogen production is underway, with MRPL inviting tenders and offering space within its premises for the outsourcing company. This initiative was well-received during the 'Invest Karnataka 2022', where Mangaluru's port facilities attracted investors looking to invest Rs 2.86 lakh crore in the region. The shift towards green hydrogen is part of India's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2070, with a focus on reducing carbon emissions from industries and vehicles. Despite the higher production costs associated with green hydrogen compared to methane-based methods, the move is crucial for environmental sustainability. The Indian government has directed refineries like MRPL, IOCL, GAIL, BPCL, and ONGC to prioritize green hydrogen production to combat climate change and promote a greener future.
