India's Maritime Revolution: Green Hydrogen Plant Flags Off at Kandla Port
Key Ideas
  • Union Minister flags off electrolysers for a 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant at DPA Kandla, a significant step in India's green energy transition.
  • The project, with indigenous electrolysis technology, aligns with India's carbon neutrality goals and aims to produce 400 kg of hydrogen daily.
  • DPA Kandla envisions scaling the plant to 10 MW, tapping into the green hydrogen economy and positioning India as a global hydrogen supplier.
  • This initiative not only enhances India's energy security but also creates employment opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
In a momentous event at Kandla Port, India took a giant leap towards sustainable energy with the flagging-off of electrolysers for a 1 MW Green Hydrogen Plant. This initiative, under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, signals a pivotal shift towards green energy and maritime decarbonization. The project, powered by indigenous technology from Larsen & Toubro, aims to produce 400 kg of green hydrogen daily utilizing renewable energy sources. The Green Hydrogen Plant at DPA Kandla is strategically positioned to serve domestic energy needs and drive future exports of green hydrogen. With plans to scale up to 10 MW, the plant sets the stage for India's prominence in the global hydrogen market. The initiative not only supports India's carbon neutrality goals but also catalyzes job creation in the renewable energy sector. This milestone affirms India's commitment to a cleaner, sustainable future and aligns with the government's target of 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen production annually by 2030. The project's impact extends beyond domestic decarbonization, attracting international interest from countries like Japan, Germany, and South Korea for potential green hydrogen trade agreements. The initiative at DPA Kandla signifies a momentous stride towards a greener, more resilient economy, setting the path for a net-zero vision by 2070 in India's maritime sector.
