Experimental reactors of BARC, IGCAR to be used for hydrogen

The Department of Atomic Energy is working on a plan to modify two experimental reactors developed by its arms to make them into pilot plants for producing nuclear-powered green hydrogen. One is the Indian High-Temperature Reactor (IHRT) developed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Center in the mid-2000s. As businessline reported on December 12, 2021, the

BPCL in pact with BARC to accelerate green hydrogen capabilities

BPCL and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) have joined hands to accelerate India’s green hydrogen capabilities. In the presence of Shri. G. Krishnakumar C&MD BPCL, Shri. Shelly Abraham (Head-Renewable Energy) and Dr. S. Adhikari, Associate Director, BARC, signed an MoU to develop an ecosystem to manufacture electrolyser technology in India. The partnership, stemming from a

BPCL and BARC collaborate for electrolyser technology

The oil marketing firm will utilise a third-party venture to set up the electrolyser-making facility, whereby the alkaline electrolyzers thus produced will likely cost 20 to 30 percent less than the current rate of about $800 per kW. BARC's technology enables the production of cost-effective electrolysers, with the potential for reducing the cost led by technological and economic innovations.
