Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu laid the foundation stone for north India's first 1-MW green hydrogen plant in Dabhota, Himachal Pradesh, marking a significant milestone in the state's renewable energy journey. The Rs 9.04 crore project, a collaboration between HPPCL and Oil India Limited, aims to produce 423 kilograms of green hydrogen daily using renewable energy sources. This initiative supports Himachal Pradesh's vision to become India's first green energy state by 2026, focusing on solar energy, green hydrogen, geothermal energy, and compressed biogas development. The plant will operate on electrolysis with an alkaline potassium hydroxide solution, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. With a planned annual output of 1,54,395 kilograms of green hydrogen, the plant emphasizes sustainability and cleaner energy practices.
