Greenzo Energy secures major green hydrogen project in Tamil Nadu.

Sandeep Agarwal, Managing Director of Greenzo Energy India, said “As the capacity for grid and renewable energy continues to grow, our scalable solutions and indigenously developed electrolysers will address the increasing demand for green hydrogen in India. We are looking forward to supporting TANGEDCO’s transition to a cleaner energy landscape through this project by utilising our market knowledge, extensive experience, and technology to make a substantial impact.”

Greenzo develops, owns, and operates renewables and green hydrogen infrastructure, to deliver dedicated zero-emission energy services to customers.

Agarwal told businessline today that the electrolyser, based on alkaline technology, was developed in-house, with technical help from IIT Delhi. The electrolyser has been developed for India and Greenzo Energy was able to design it to reduce power consumption significantly. He said that broadly the electrolyser would consume 42 kWhr of electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, compared with 50-55 kWhr of a typical alkaline electrolyser. 

Consequently, the cost of the gas would be about ₹270-280 ($3.3) a kg. 

Greenzo is building a factory to make electrolysers in Gujarat with a capacity of 250 MW. The project is expected to be commissioned in December. Last year, the company had told businessline that the plant would go on stream by March 2024.
