Hero Future Energies Joins Bhubaneswar Hydrogen Valley Project
Key Ideas
- Hero Future Energies is partnering with IIT-Bhubaneswar for the Bhubaneswar Hydrogen Valley Innovation Cluster, focusing on solutions for direct reduction of iron and heavy-duty mobility using renewable energy and green hydrogen.
- The Indian government has allocated Rs 200 crore for four upcoming green hydrogen valley projects, including Bhubaneswar, with the aim of boosting research, innovation, and capacity in the clean hydrogen sector.
- The Bhubaneswar-HVIC will produce hydrogen through electrolysis to cater to the steel and mobility sectors, contributing to the local, regional, and nation-wide deployment of clean hydrogen solutions.
- Hydrogen valleys like this initiative cover the entire hydrogen value chain, from production to distribution, with the goal of advancing scientific and industrial capabilities in the hydrogen industry.
Hero Future Energies (HFE) has been selected as the industry partner for the Bhubaneswar Hydrogen Valley Innovation Cluster (HVIC), supported by IIT-Bhubaneswar. The project aims to provide solutions for the direct reduction of iron and heavy-duty mobility, utilizing renewable energy and green hydrogen. The Indian government has approved Rs 200 crore in funding for four green hydrogen valley projects, including Bhubaneswar, to promote research, innovation, and the adoption of clean hydrogen technologies. The Bhubaneswar-HVIC will employ electrolysis to produce hydrogen, targeting applications in the steel and mobility sectors. These initiatives are part of a broader plan to establish hydrogen valleys, geographically designated areas where hydrogen plays a crucial role across multiple sectors. By fostering collaboration between scientific and industrial entities, the project intends to showcase the potential of clean hydrogen solutions for widespread deployment.
