Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL) has commissioned the first 5-megawatt green hydrogen pilot plant completely off-grid. Located in Kutch, Gujarat, this unit represents a technological innovation by operating exclusively on solar power. solar powersupported by a battery energy storage system (BESS).
Green hydrogen plant with smart electrolysis
The plant is equipped with an electrolysis closed and automated electrolysis system system capable of adapting in real time to fluctuations in photovoltaic generation. This approach allows for flexible and safe operation while maintaining high levels of efficiency, even in the face of solar variability.
In addition to being a pioneer of its kind, this plant marks a key step towards the decentralized production of green hydrogen, a solution with great potential for industrial sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, such as the fertilizer manufacturing, fuel refiningfuel refining and heavy transport.
India moves towards energy self-sufficiency
The project fits into the objectives of the National Green Hydrogen Missionpromoted by the Government of India, which seeks to strengthen the country’s energy self-sufficiency, reduce dependence on fossil imports and position India as a global leader in the development of clean hydrogen-based solutions. clean hydrogen.
With this pilot plant, ANIL is moving towards its next milestone: the development of a green hydrogen industrial center in Mundra, also in Gujarat, where derivatives such as green ammonia y green methanolto meet local and international demand.
Adani’s commitment to off-grid infrastructure powered by renewable sources reinforces its leadership in energy innovation and sets a precedent for future projects in emerging economies with high decarbonization targets.
