Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu marked a significant milestone by laying the foundation stone for North India’s first 1-MW green hydrogen plant in Dabhota, Solan district. The plant, to be developed by Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation (HPPCL) in collaboration with Oil India, will utilize renewable energy sources for electrolysis to produce green hydrogen. This process, using an alkaline potassium hydroxide solution, is designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With a daily production capacity of 423 kg of green hydrogen, the plant will help the state move towards a cleaner energy ecosystem. The initiative, costing Rs 9.04 crore, is expected to be completed within a year. The development is part of a broader collaboration between HPPCL and Oil India, focusing on various green energy initiatives like solar energy, geothermal energy, and compressed biogas. By promoting sustainable energy solutions, Himachal Pradesh is taking a proactive step towards a greener future.
