Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai have entered into a Technology Transfer Agreement (TTA) to enhance India's hydrogen production capabilities. The focus of the agreement is on the mixed-matrix membrane diaphragm technology for use in electrochemical cell separator applications. This innovative diaphragm technology serves as a safer alternative to traditional asbestos-based diaphragms in electrolyser systems and provides a cost-effective substitute for imported Zirfon membranes. By reducing dependency on costly imports, this advancement improves performance and cost-efficiency. BHEL's acquisition of this technology brings India closer to fully developing indigenous alkaline electrolyser systems. The integration of BARC's diaphragm innovation enables BHEL to manufacture electrolyzers entirely within India, aligning with the country's national goals. The collaboration between BHEL and BARC supports India's Green Hydrogen Mission and the 'Make in India' initiative, showcasing a commitment to sustainable energy solutions and self-reliant energy systems. This partnership signifies a critical advancement towards a greener and more self-sufficient energy landscape for India.
