GAIL (India) Ltd has marked a significant milestone by inaugurating its first green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh, as part of its strategic entry into new and sustainable energy endeavors. This plant, featuring a 10-megawatt proton exchange membrane electrolyser sourced from Canada, is geared to produce approximately 4.3 tonnes of green hydrogen daily at an exceptional purity level of 99.999% through the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity, particularly solar power. The company's initiative aligns with the National Green Hydrogen mission of India, which aims to achieve a substantial capacity of 5 million tons of green hydrogen production annually by the year 2030, emphasizing the nation's shift towards eco-friendly practices to mitigate carbon emissions while catering to its escalating energy demands. Moreover, GAIL plans to utilize the hydrogen generated for internal processes at Vijaipur initially and later intends to extend its distribution to nearby consumers, employing high-pressure cascades for transportation. Alongside this project, GAIL is also venturing into solar power generation with the installation of 20 MW solar plants at Vijaipur to fulfill the green power requisites of the electrolyser. The company is actively experimenting with blending hydrogen with natural gas in Indore under its city gas distribution network, with intentions to upscale the blending ratios post-tests and approvals, despite current regulations permitting only a 5% blending ratio. Collaborative studies with Engineers India Limited and IIT Kanpur are underway to explore further possibilities of blending hydrogen with natural gas, showcasing GAIL's commitment to innovation in sustainable energy solutions.
