Participants interacted with key stakeholders, says Ministry
Eighteen promising startups, working across various segments of the green hydrogen value chain, including electrolyser technologies and products, fuel cell applications, biomass-to-hydrogen production, and digital solutions for hydrogen systems, demonstrated their technologies at the Hydrogen Startup Exhibition
The participants also interacted with key stakeholders from government, industry, and the research community at the one-day exhibition organized by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
The participating companies included five electrolyzer startups (electrolyzers and associated stack components), two hydrogen production startups, one fuel cell startup, one hydrogen applications startup, one safety startup (MEMS-based sensor), two drone startups, three hydrogen cooking startups, one artificial intelligence/machine learning startup, and two bio-hydrogen startups, the Ministry said on 15 April.
MNRE had launched the scheme for New and Novel Uses of Hydrogen Production and Applications last year, under which Part B of the scheme earmarked Rs.100 crores for startup funding (pilot projects), with a maximum grant of Rs. 5 crore per startup.
It may be recalled that MNRE had organized a similar startup expo as part of the R&D Conference last September at Dr. Ambedkar Centre in New Delhi, in which more than 25 startups had participated. This second event was a successor to the first event. Fiinews.com
