  • The 20-year offtake agreement between AIS and INOXAP includes AIS's investment in a solar power plant for renewable energy, marking a significant step towards decarbonization in the glass manufacturing sector.
  • This partnership not only sets a new benchmark for sustainable glass production in India but also contributes to the country's energy transition strategy by incorporating green hydrogen into manufacturing processes.
INOX Air Products (INOXAP) has successfully commissioned its first green hydrogen manufacturing plant at Asahi India Glass' (AIS) greenfield float glass facility in Soniyana, Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. This achievement represents a significant milestone as it marks India's debut in utilizing green hydrogen for float glass manufacturing, emphasizing a commitment to sustainable practices. AIS has engaged in a 20-year agreement with INOXAP for the supply of green hydrogen to the facility, ensuring a consistent renewable energy source for production. The plant, driven by solar energy, is poised to deliver 190 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, with an initial allocation of 95 tonnes for AIS. In a progressive move towards decarbonization, AIS has made strategic investments in a solar power plant to support the electrolysis process for hydrogen generation, aligning with its dedication to reducing the carbon footprint of its manufacturing processes. Siddharth Jain, the Managing Director of INOX Air Products, highlighted the significance of the project, emphasizing the transformative role of green hydrogen in India's energy transition and the quest for a sustainable energy future. The collaboration between AIS and INOXAP not only signifies a pioneering initiative in the float glass sector but also underscores the broader sustainability strategies adopted by companies to address environmental concerns. Through this venture, the utilization of green hydrogen in glass manufacturing processes symbolizes a positive step towards a greener and more environmentally conscious industrial landscape in India.
