India demonstrates leadership ambitions in hydrogen technologies, says Matian
Switzerland’s EH Group is expanding its footprint by establishing an Innovation Lab at Chennai’s IITM Research Park as India takes a lead in hydrogen technologies.
“India is demonstrating its ambition to be a leader in hydrogen technologies, as witnessed by strong policy support and industrial investment announcements,” EH Group founder Mardit Matian said on 11 Jan 2023.
“Our goal is not only to support our fuel cell technology development but to better service our clients in the rapidly growing hydrogen sector in India.”
“The time has never been better to invest in the hydrogen ecosystem in India. We are excited to benefit from its deep talent pool and to accelerate India’s journey towards decarbonisation and greater energy independence,” elaborated Christopher Brandon, also co-founder of EH Group which is headquartered in Nyon, Switzerland, since 2017.
The Group has recently established EH Group Systems Pvt Ltd to accelerate the development of fuel cell products, primarily focusing on proprietary control systems software.
It is led by Anand Vasappanavara, Principal Control and Automation engineer, who was instrumental in designing FC system control development programs at major OEMs before joining EH Group in 2019.
“He is supported by a pre-established team that have already been collaborating with us, as well as several additional hires, notably from the strong academic talent pool at IIT Madras. We expect our team to grow rapidly to meet the nascent market opportunity,” Brandon said.
EH Group is focused on the design and production of its innovative fuel cell technology, to decarbonise heavy duty mobility and large scale stationary applications. It offers high power density fuel cell stacks with greater efficiencies and a unique production process that radically reduces costs with scale. fiinews.com
