By beginning work on a Green Hydrogen pilot project for blending with natural gas in the city gas distribution (CGD) network, Torrent Power, India's largest integrated power utility business, has made a significant contribution to a greener future.

The Alkaline Electrolyzer-based pilot project, which will blend 2.5% GH2 into the CGD network and be finished in about 8 months, will be a significant turning point in the company's entry into the GH2 market in India. The electrolysis of water utilising renewable energy sources produces GH2.

Blending GH2 with the existing natural gas supply allows for a gradual transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy mix. This Gorakhpur based pilot project for Torrent Gas will be one of the largest private sector blending projects in India.

Through this initiative, Torrent has taken the first step towards incorporating GH2 in its business operations and, coupled with its strong presence in RE, is looking to grow as a leading end to end GH2 solution provider to industrial & commercial players in India. In addition, export oriented green ammonia development is also being envisaged as a growth avenue for the company with active interests in multiple states.
