HYDGEN (Hydrogen Innovation Pvt. Ltd.) has partnered with Malati Fine Chemicals (MFC) to explore and validate small-scale electrolyzer systems for green hydrogen production in the Indian industry. The collaboration focuses on deploying on-site, decentralized green hydrogen production using renewable power from bagasse-based cogeneration in sugar mills. This initiative will lead to the production of green methanol by utilizing CO₂ captured from distillery fermentation processes, promoting a circular and clean approach to industrial energy and chemical production. Dr. M. Krishna Kumar, COO of HYDGEN, expressed confidence in the partnership's ability to commercialize hydrogen systems in real-world conditions. Under the MoU, HYDGEN will provide its electrolyzer technology while MFC will support testing environments and operational infrastructure. Both parties will explore commercialization opportunities and seek funding mechanisms for further technology applications. Dr. Mohan Dongare from MFC highlighted the potential of green hydrogen and green methanol in the sugar industry and beyond. This collaboration signifies a significant milestone for HYDGEN in enabling affordable, decentralized green hydrogen production for industries across India and Southeast Asia. The joint efforts between HYDGEN and MFC will set a precedent for similar deployments in industries like food processing, agro-chemicals, and distributed energy systems, promoting sustainability and innovation in the region.
