Adani Group Launches India's First Off-Grid Green Hydrogen Pilot Plant
Key Ideas
  • Adani Group's off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat, powered solely by solar energy and BESS, sets a new benchmark in decentralized, renewable-powered hydrogen production.
  • The pilot plant features a closed-loop electrolyzer system capable of dynamically responding to solar power fluctuations, addressing a key challenge in renewable energy.
  • This initiative supports India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and Atmanirbhar Bharat vision, aiming to reduce fossil fuel dependence, accelerate industrial decarbonization, and position India as a global hub for green hydrogen production.
  • The successful commissioning of the pilot plant is a significant step towards making green hydrogen a commercially viable and scalable solution, contributing to global net-zero goals and transforming India's energy ecosystem.
Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL), a subsidiary of the Adani Group, has commissioned India's first off-grid 5 MW green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat. This pilot plant, powered entirely by solar energy and supported by a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), operates independently of the grid, demonstrating decentralized, renewable-powered hydrogen production. The facility boasts a closed-loop electrolyzer system that can adjust to fluctuating solar power inputs, ensuring efficiency and safety. ANIL sees this initiative as a 'new paradigm' in green energy, showcasing the feasibility of off-grid green hydrogen production for industrial applications in sectors like fertilizers, oil refining, and heavy transport. The project aligns with India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and Atmanirbhar Bharat vision, aiming to bolster energy self-sufficiency and accelerate industrial decarbonization. ANIL's upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Mundra, Gujarat, is set to further this initiative. The successful commissioning of the pilot plant signifies a leap towards making green hydrogen commercially viable, contributing to global net-zero objectives and reshaping India's energy landscape.
