This makes the state-owned gas utility GAIL the first company in India to start megawatt-scale operations for the production of green hydrogen.
The GAIL Vijaipur plant aligns with India’s Hydrogen Mission of achieving at least 5 million tons of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030. India aims to become energy independent by 2047 and to achieve Net Zero by 2070.
Vijaipur Green Hydrogen will be NEXTCHEM’s reference plant to pursue additional energy transition prospects in India.
Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE Group, commented: “We are extremely proud for this achievement, which best positions MAIRE in India for prospects in the energy transition space, having contributed to the implementation of the largest green hydrogen plant in the Country. Our strong presence in India counting on over 3,000 people, makes the Group at the forefront in proposing sustainable solutions for the national industry.”
