Innovative Partnership for Green Hydrogen in Sugar Industry
Key Ideas
  • Hydgen and Malati Fine Chemicals have partnered to pilot small-scale green hydrogen production in the sugar industry using innovative technologies.
  • The collaboration focuses on utilizing bagasse-based cogeneration to power Hydgen's electrolyzers, producing green hydrogen that will be used to synthesize green methanol.
  • The partnership aims to showcase the feasibility of decentralized green hydrogen production and the integration of sustainable energy solutions in traditional industries.
  • The success of this initiative could lead to broader adoption of green hydrogen and methanol in various industrial applications, contributing to global decarbonization goals.
Hydgen, a developer of advanced Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolyzer systems, has entered into a partnership with Pune-based Malati Fine Chemicals (MFC) to pilot small-scale green hydrogen production within the sugar industry. The collaboration aims to leverage renewable energy sources and innovative technologies to produce green hydrogen on-site using bagasse-based cogeneration. This green hydrogen will be combined with captured carbon dioxide to synthesize green methanol, promoting a circular economy by repurposing industrial waste. Hydgen will provide its advanced electrolyzer technology, while MFC will offer infrastructure and regulatory support for pilot deployments. The initiative targets decentralized green hydrogen production, starting in the sugar industry and potentially expanding to other sectors. Green methanol, seen as a sustainable alternative to traditional methanol, finds applications in transportation and manufacturing, aligning with decarbonization goals. The partnership between Hydgen and MFC exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to sustainable industrial practices and could serve as a model for similar efforts worldwide, driving the adoption of green technologies in various industries.
