Pioneering Green Hydrogen Initiative in Rajasthan's Glass Industry
Key Ideas
  • Asahi India Glass and INOX Air Products have signed a 20-year offtake agreement for Green Hydrogen supply, marking a significant step towards sustainable glass production in India.
  • The Green Hydrogen plant at Asahi India's Chittorgarh facility, powered by solar energy, will have a capacity to generate up to 190 Tons annually, reducing CO2 emissions by 1250 MTPA.
  • This collaboration not only promotes decarbonization but also aligns with India's focus on green economy and the National Green Hydrogen Mission, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2070.
  • The initiative showcases a commitment to sustainability, circularity, and de-carbonization in the glass manufacturing industry, positioning India as a global leader in renewable energy adoption.
Asahi India Glass Limited (AIS) and INOX Air Products have embarked on a groundbreaking initiative in the glass industry by signing a 20-year agreement for the supply of Green Hydrogen to AIS's float glass facility in Soniyana, Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. This collaboration sets the stage for India's first Green Hydrogen Plant dedicated to the Float Glass sector, promoting sustainable practices in the manufacturing process. The plant, operational by July 2024, will be fueled by solar energy and have the capacity to produce 190 tons of Green Hydrogen per year through electrolysis. INOX Air Products will oversee the design, engineering, installation, and continuous supply of Green Hydrogen to AIS, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by 1250 metric tons annually. AIS's commitment to sustainability is evident through investments in renewable energy sources like solar power and the utilization of Green Hydrogen in the glass manufacturing process. This strategic move not only emphasizes a greener future but also reinforces India's leadership in adopting renewable energy solutions. The partnership between AIS and INOX Air Products aligns with India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and the country's vision for achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 under the leadership of PM Modi. The project in Chittorgarh signifies AIS's dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and embracing circularity in glass production. By leveraging technology collaboration with AGC Europe, AIS aims to manufacture high-quality float glass for automotive and architectural purposes while prioritizing sustainability. INOX Air Products' role in establishing the Green Hydrogen plant for this project highlights the importance of industry collaboration in driving significant sustainability in India's manufacturing sector. The development of India's first Green Hydrogen plant for the Float Glass industry marks a significant milestone in the country's energy transition journey towards decarbonization and a green economy.
