Mishra says plant to increase production of green hydrogen to 30 kg per day
Oil India Limited (OIL) has initiated a detailed study in collaboration with IIT Guwahati on blending of Green Hydrogen with natural gas and its effect on the existing infrastructure of OIL.
The company also plans to study use cases for commercial applications of the blended fuel, said CMD Sushil Chandra Mishra after commissioning India’s first 99.999% pure Green Hydrogen pilot plant on 20 Apr 2022.
The Assam plant, commissioned in a record time of three months, has an installed capacity of 10 kg per day at its Jorhat Pump Station.
The plant produces Green Hydrogen from the electricity generated by the existing 500kW Solar plant using a 100 kW Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolyser array.
The use of AEM technology is being used for the first time in India.
Mishra said the plant is expected to increase its production of green hydrogen from 10 kg per day to 30 kg per day in future.
It is the first significant step towards Green Hydrogen Economy in India. fiinews.com
