L&T commissions new green hydrogen plant in Gujarat

Larsen & Toubro (L&T) commissioned a new green hydrogen plant at Hazira in Gujarat. The development comes five months after the company inked a joint venture with Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and ReNew Power for the production of green hydrogen. L&T and IOC had also inked a separate joint venture for the production of electrolysers.

The plant will produce 45 kg of green hydrogen daily, which will be used for captive consumption in the company’s Hazira manufacturing complex.

The green hydrogen plant is designed for an electrolyser capacity of 800 kW comprising both alkaline (380 kW) and polymer electrolyte membrane (420 kW) technologies. It will be powered by a rooftop solar plant of 990kW peak DC capacity and a 500kWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
