India's National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, in line with developing 15 GW of electrolyzer manufacturing capacity. To support these targets, John Cockerill is establishing one of the world's largest electrolyzer manufacturing facilities in Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. The plant, set to begin operations by 2026 with a 1 GW capacity and scaling up to 2 GW annually, will manufacture alkaline electrolyzers crucial for converting renewable electricity into green hydrogen at scale. This initiative will bolster India's green hydrogen ecosystem, reduce import reliance, enhance cost efficiency, and create employment opportunities while fostering technological collaboration. The investment strategy by John Cockerill aligns with India's 'Make in India' push for green hydrogen manufacturing, aiming to support domestic decarbonization and hydrogen exports. The focus on solar-powered electrolysis in regions like Rajasthan and Gujarat highlights the potential for cost-effective and reliable green hydrogen production in India. Partnerships with companies like L&T Energy GreenTech on technologies such as CSP and TES complement solar-powered electrolysis, ensuring consistent and efficient hydrogen production even in variable conditions. John Cockerill's emphasis on large-scale alkaline electrolyzers, automation, digitalization, and advanced control systems aims to boost sustainability, cost efficiency, and rapid deployment. Balancing global technology leadership with India's price-sensitive market, the joint venture with AM Green focuses on localizing manufacturing to reduce costs and enhance responsiveness to market demands.
