The three-day Indo-US workshop on hydrogen and global decarbonisation kicked off at the Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) in Visakhapatnam, in collaboration with Stony Brook University, New York. The workshop, steered by IIPE director Prof Shalivahan, expressed gratitude to NTPC for their backing in the hydrogen generation project. With breakout sessions as a unique feature, participants engaged in group activities to deliberate on crucial topics and identify top priorities for advancing hydrogen technology. Prof Devinder Mahajan from Stony Brook University underscored the importance of goal-oriented research and lauded the NTPC-IIPE partnership for its innovative hydrogen production initiatives. NTPC officials shared insights on utilizing seawater for cooling, installing floating solar panels, and commissioning a one TPD hydrogen plant, showcasing the potential of chemical and electrochemical engineering in addressing global energy challenges. The workshop emphasized the essential role of industry-academia partnerships in propelling hydrogen technology forward and meeting global energy objectives.
