India's First Largest Green Hydrogen Plant at Indian Oil Refinery
Key Ideas
  • L&T Energy GreenTech, a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, will establish a green hydrogen plant at Indian Oil Corporation's Panipat refinery, supplying 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for 25 years.
  • The plant will utilize high-pressure alkaline electrolysers made in Gujarat and operate round the clock with renewable energy, supporting Indian Oil's efforts to decarbonize and India's net-zero goals.
  • Indian Oil sees this project as crucial in transitioning to green hydrogen, with the plant set to replace fossil-derived hydrogen, leading to a significant cut in carbon emissions by the time of its commissioning in December 2027.
  • The project is a testament to L&T's capabilities in providing clean energy solutions and signifies a major step for India in green hydrogen production on a large scale.
Larsen & Toubro's subsidiary, L&T Energy GreenTech, has announced plans to establish India's first largest green hydrogen plant at the Indian Oil Corporation's Panipat refinery. The plant aims to deliver 10,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to Indian Oil for a period of 25 years. It will utilize high-pressure alkaline electrolysers manufactured at L&T Electrolysers' plant in Hazira, Gujarat. This initiative aligns with Indian Oil's strategy to decarbonize its refining operations and contribute to India's net-zero objectives. The green hydrogen facility will be developed on a build-own-operate basis and will operate continuously through renewable energy sources. This move is seen as a significant progress towards cleaner industrial processes at scale in India. The project is scheduled for completion by December 2027 and is expected to replace the use of fossil-derived hydrogen, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions. Indian Oil has highlighted the importance of this project in its journey towards green hydrogen adoption and has emphasized the positive impact it will have on carbon footprint reduction. The collaboration between L&T and Indian Oil underscores the commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions. The establishment of this green hydrogen plant sets a milestone in India's green energy landscape and marks a pivotal moment in the country's pursuit of cleaner and more sustainable industrial practices.
