Establishes a standard for off-grid, renewable energy-powered industrial uses of green hydrogen and its derivatives in emissions-intensive industries and proves their technical viability.
A significant turning point in the country’s clean energy transition was reached today when Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) announced the successful commissioning of India’s first off-grid 5 MW Green Hydrogen Pilot Plant in Kutch, Gujarat.
The cutting-edge facility can run entirely off the grid thanks to its integration of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and 100% green power from solar. In terms of decentralised, renewable-energy-powered hydrogen production, this is a new paradigm.
The first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen plant in India, the ANIL pilot plant has a fully automated, closed-loop electrolyser system that can react dynamically to renewable energy inputs in real time. While maintaining effectiveness, safety, and performance, this offers significant operational flexibility, especially when dealing with the unpredictability of solar power.
The Adani Group’s dedication to innovation, sustainability, and leadership in the developing green hydrogen economy is further demonstrated by this innovation. It establishes a standard for industrial applications powered by renewable energy in challenging industries and supports India’s goal of being a global centre for the generation of green hydrogen.
A major initiative that will greatly contribute to India’s low-carbon future, the pilot also acts as a proof of concept for ANIL’s forthcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Mundra, Gujarat. Green hydrogen is anticipated to be essential to reaching global net-zero goals and decarbonizing industries such as heavy transportation, fertilizers, and refining.
The program aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), a flagship initiative of the Indian government that aims to accelerate the decarbonization of energy-intensive industries, enhance energy self-sufficiency, and reduce reliance on imports to realize India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.
