The Adani Group and Total Energies-backed Adani Total Gas Ltd. (ATGL) has announced that it has started a pilot project for green hydrogen generation and blending.

As part of the project, ATGL will use cutting-edge technologies to mix natural gas with green hydrogen (GH2) for over 4,000 residential and business users in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

GH2 is produced using electrolysis of water with electricity generated by renewable energy. Hydrogen blending is less carbon-intensive than burning gas but has the same heating capabilities.

The project is expected to be commissioned by FY24-25, and the percentage of green hydrogen will be gradually increased in the blend to up to 8 per cent or more, depending on regulatory approvals.
