Adani Mundra Cluster: Leading the Transition to Green Hydrogen Hub in India
Key Ideas
- Adani Enterprises Ltd, Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, and Ambuja Cements Ltd have formed the Adani Mundra Cluster to drive economic growth and decarbonisation by 2050.
- The cluster, located in Mundra, aims to be a green hydrogen hub with a planned capacity of 1-3 MMTPA by 2040, supported by renewable energy sources and electrolyser manufacturing.
- APSEZ is committed to powering all port operations with renewable electricity by 2025 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, while Ambuja Cements aims to be globally the lowest-emission-intensity cement production facility.
- The Adani Mundra Cluster's collaboration with the World Economic Forum and transition to green hydrogen align with India's goal of decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors and reducing energy imports.
Three Adani portfolio companies in India have come together to form the Adani Mundra Cluster, located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, as part of the World Economic Forum’s ‘Transitioning Industrial Clusters’ initiative. This collaboration aims to drive economic growth, create employment opportunities, and advance decarbonisation by 2050. Mundra, recognized as India’s largest port, has become a thriving industrial cluster for various sectors, including renewable energy and cement production.
The cluster's ambitious plans include transitioning to a green hydrogen hub with a planned capacity of 1-3 MMTPA by 2040. This transition will be supported by renewable energy sources such as 10 GW of solar modules and 5 GW of wind turbines. APSEZ has committed to using renewable electricity for all its port operations by 2025 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, while Ambuja Cements aims to be the lowest-emission-intensity cement production facility globally.
The Adani Mundra Cluster's vision aligns with India's goal of reducing dependency on energy imports and decarbonising the economy. Through collaboration with the World Economic Forum, the cluster aims to pioneer innovative approaches towards decarbonisation and lead the green energy transition in the country.
