Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOC) has announced the finalization of India’s largest green hydrogen project, a 10,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) green hydrogen generation unit at its Panipat refinery and petrochemical complex. This initiative marks a significant step in India’s clean energy transition, aligning with the National Green Hydrogen Mission and IOC’s decarbonization roadmap.
Key Highlights of the Project
- Massive Green Hydrogen Production: The 10,000 TPA facility will replace fossil-derived hydrogen in refinery operations, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
- Strategic Government Alignment: The project supports India’s Net Zero target and reinforces IOC’s leadership in sustainable energy.
- Commissioning Timeline: Slated for completion by December 2027, the facility will utilize renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.
- Industry Impact: Green hydrogen is a clean fuel with applications in oil refineries, steel plants, transportation, and industrial processes.
India’s Green Hydrogen Push
The Indian government has been aggressively promoting green hydrogen adoption, with policies aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels and accelerating decarbonization. IOC’s Panipat project is expected to set new benchmarks in hydrogen production efficiency and cost optimization.
Future Prospects
With global demand for green hydrogen rising, IOC’s initiative positions India as a key player in the clean energy sector. The project is expected to drive investments, create jobs, and enhance India’s energy security.
