GAIL inaugurates India's first green hydrogen plant in Madhya Pradesh
Power Generation - May 29,2024 -GAIL (India) has inaugurated its maiden green hydrogen plant at Vijaipur in Madhya Pradesh, and its commissioning is a significant step in its foray into new and alternate energy.
The 10-MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser for the green-hydrogen producing unit has been imported from Canada.
The plant has the capacity to produce about 4.3 tonne of green hydrogen per day, assuring a purity of about 99.999 percent by volume.
Initially, the hydrogen produced from this unit will serve as a fuel along with natural gas for captive purpose in the various processes and equipment at the existing plant.
Further, this hydrogen is planned to be dispensed to retail customers in nearby geographies, for which it will be transported through high pressure cascades.
The company is also setting up around 20 MW solar power plants at Vijaipur (both ground mounted and floating) to meet the requirement of green power for the PEM Electrolyser.
While GAIL is carrying out the blending of hydrogen with natural gas in Indore in city gas distribution for testing, it aims to escalate blending ratios with the necessary approvals, as per test results.
