India's Green Hydrogen Initiative at Kandla Port: A Step Towards Sustainable Maritime Sector
Key Ideas
  • Union Minister flags off electrolysers for a 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant at Deendayal Port Authority in Kandla, showcasing commitment to energy transition.
  • Manufactured by L&T under 'Make-in-India', the plant will produce 18 kg of hydrogen per hour, aiming to become India's first port-based Green Hydrogen facility.
  • Future plans include expanding into Green Ammonia production and scaling up the plant to 10 MW, aligning with India's Net Zero goals.
  • The initiative was hailed as a significant milestone in India's journey towards sustainable port operations and energy-efficient maritime sector under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In a noteworthy development towards energy transition, the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways, virtually inaugurated electrolysers for a Green Hydrogen plant at Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) in Kandla. This step underpins the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with a vision to establish DPA Kandla as India's prominent Green Hydrogen hub. The electrolysers, produced by L&T as part of the 'Make-in-India' initiative, will power a 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant at DPA, set to be operational by July 2025, generating 18 kg of hydrogen per hour. This project signifies a leap towards sustainable energy practices in the maritime sector. Future plans involve venturing into Green Ammonia production and expanding the plant to 10 MW capacity, in alignment with India's Net Zero goals. The ceremony witnessed the presence of key dignitaries like the Ministry's Secretary, Chairman of DPA, and representatives from L&T Green Energy, symbolizing collaborative efforts towards a greener future.
