GreenH Electrolysis Announces its First 1 GW PEM Electrolyser Manufacturing Plant in India – EQ Mag
Phase one, spread over 97,000 sq.ft., in Haryana, will be ready shortly
New Delhi : GreenH Electrolysis, a joint venture between H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies of Spain, and GR Group from India, announced its first, 1 GW, state-of-the-art, PEM electrolyser manufacturing plant in India. The company has already procured a 97,000 sq.ft. facility in Reliance MET Industrial Park, Jhajjar District, Haryana, for the first phase of the plant. The company has already started installation of the plant and hopes to commence operations by October this year.
Dhiman Roy, Director and CEO, GreenH Electrolysis said, “We are thrilled to announce our first manufacturing plant in India, the technology for which will be provided by H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, our Spanish parent company. This technological expertise is coupled with the project development and EPC experience of GR Group our Indian parent company, a leading player in the infrastructure sector in India. We are all set to commence operations in October with an initial capacity of 100 MW and deliver cutting-edge green hydrogen technology electrolysers to our Indian customers. We have taken a large area to be able to quickly ramp up. In the next two years, we plan to take up this capacity to 500MW in the same premises. For Phase 2, we will procure additional land to expand the capacity to 1 GW.”
Anselmo Andrade, CEO, H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies said, “H2B2 is excited to be a part of this growth journey in the green hydrogen space in India. As a global technology company operating in the hydrogen sector through electrolysis, we believe that with the backing of our technological expertise, coupled with the experience and support of GR Promoter Group, GreenH will be able to meet the potential demand for green hydrogen in the country.”
Ashwin Agarwal, Director, GR Promoter Group. said, “Green Hydrogen has a critical role to play in India’s efforts to achieve its net-zero target by 2047. With the Government taking significant steps to promote green hydrogen, we expect the market to grow exponentially. This state-of-the-art facility will help meet the demand for electrolysers in India, especially from the commercial and industrial segments and will help enhance India’s hydrogen production capabilities.”
This manufacturing plant signifies GreenH’s long-term commitment to the “Make in India” initiative and the Indian Government’s Green Hydrogen Mission. Backed by the experience of H2B2, and GR Group, the company is well-placed to address potential demand as well as scale up operations as the market expands.
The green hydrogen market in India is at an inflection point and has the potential to grow rapidly. According to the NITI Aayog, a think tank and Rocky Mountain Institute Report, hydrogen demand in India is expected to increase fourfold by 2050 with the steel industry and heavy-duty transportation driving 52% of the demand. It is estimated that India spends over $160 billion of foreign exchange every year on energy imports, a number that could double in the next 15 years.
The ‘National Hydrogen Mission’ was launched to scale up green hydrogen production and align India’s energy transition efforts with global best practices in technology, policy, and regulation. The Mission aims to support the government’s efforts in meeting climate targets and making India a green hydrogen hub.
