Pioneering Green Hydrogen Innovation in the Sugar Industry
Key Ideas
- HYDGEN partners with Malati Fine Chemicals to deploy small-scale electrolyzer systems for green hydrogen production in the sugar industry.
- The collaboration aims to showcase the feasibility of on-site green hydrogen production using renewable power, leading to green methanol production.
- The Memorandum of Understanding involves joint efforts in pilot deployments, testing, and commercialization of hydrogen technology in real-world conditions.
- The partnership signifies a step towards sustainable industrial energy production and sets a precedent for similar initiatives in various industrial sectors.
HYDGEN, a developer of AEM electrolyzer systems, has partnered with Malati Fine Chemicals, based in Pune, to explore small-scale electrolyzers for green hydrogen production in the sugar industry. The collaboration focuses on using renewable power from sugar mills to produce green hydrogen, subsequently generating green methanol and following a circular approach to industrial energy production. The partnership will involve HYDGEN supplying its electrolyzer technology and MFC facilitating testing environments and operational infrastructure. Both parties will work together to commercialize the technology and explore broader applications. Dr. M. Krishna Kumar from HYDGEN and Dr. Mohan Dongare from Malati Fine Chemicals express confidence in the potential of green hydrogen and green methanol in revolutionizing industrial energy practices. This initiative aims to pave the way for sustainable energy solutions in industries like food processing and agro-chemicals, setting a model for future deployments in India and Southeast Asia.
