Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal initiated the launch of India's first green hydrogen plant at Kandla Port. The 1 MW plant, scheduled for completion by July 2025, will initially produce 18 kg of green hydrogen per hour, with plans to scale up to a 10 MW capacity. The project aims to provide practical experience in green hydrogen production and usage, marking a significant milestone towards sustainable port operations and supporting India's National Green Hydrogen Mission. L&T, chosen for the project by the Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) due to its prior experience in a similar plant in Hazira, manufactured the electrolysers in three months, aligning with the 'Make in India' initiative. The green hydrogen generated will power fuel cells, contributing to clean energy for port operations, with future plans to integrate green ammonia production. The plant's annual output target of 80-90 tonnes of green hydrogen will play a vital role in promoting cleaner energy solutions within the port, establishing DPA Kandla as a pioneer in sustainable port operations in India.
