Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) has announced the successful commissioning of India’s first off-grid 5 MW Green Hydrogen Pilot Plant in Kutch, Gujarat. This milestone project is powered entirely by solar energy and is equipped with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling it to operate independently. The company emphasized the plant's decentralized, renewable-powered hydrogen production approach, incorporating a closed-loop electrolyser system for real-time response to renewable energy inputs. This development showcases the Adani Group's commitment to innovation and sustainability in the green hydrogen economy. The pilot plant in Kutch is a precursor to ANIL’s upcoming Green Hydrogen Hub in Mundra, Gujarat, which aims to contribute significantly to India's low-carbon future. Green hydrogen is recognized as a key element in decarbonizing various sectors such as fertilisers, refining, and heavy transport, aligning with global net-zero targets. The initiative also supports India's National Green Hydrogen Mission, a government program focused on reducing import dependence, promoting energy self-sufficiency, and facilitating the decarbonization of energy-intensive industries. By aiming to be a major global exporter of green hydrogen by 2030, India is actively participating in global decarbonization efforts. The vision includes achieving energy independence by 2047 and reaching Net Zero emissions by 2070 as part of the country's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India) agenda. To facilitate this transition, the government has allocated $2.4 billion towards the National Green Hydrogen Mission, emphasizing the nation's commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
