NTPC's R&D center, NETRA, is spearheading the establishment of a cutting-edge 1 TPD seawater-to-green hydrogen plant at NTPC Simhadri near Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This innovative project harnesses a low-carbon desalination plant to convert seawater into high-quality hydrogen water, effectively utilizing waste heat from the flue gas of a thermal power plant. With each kilogram of hydrogen production requiring 12-13 kilograms of purified water, the initiative addresses water scarcity concerns in the region. The Indian government's commitment to fostering technologies for hydrogen production from diverse water sources, including seawater and wastewater, aligns well with NTPC's strategy to enhance the efficiency of hydrogen manufacturing. The undertaking is under the supervision of NTPC Green Energy Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC, actively engaged in various projects to achieve the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. This endeavor signifies a progressive step towards sustainable energy practices and demonstrates India's dedication to advancing green hydrogen technology.
