“We are looking forward to an exciting journey where this partnership of L&T and Mc Phy will play a key role in creating a sustainable energy infrastructure for the future. The green hydrogen industry is at a nascent stage with an immense potential, and through this partnership both organizations will harness their inherent strengths to establish cost leadership through local manufacturing and sourcing,” said Derek M Shah, Sr. Vice President & Head, L&T Energy - Green Mfg. & Development.

India is well suited for green hydrogen production due to the low generation costs of renewable electricity from abundantly available solar PV and wind power sources. The country aims to be among the world’s largest green hydrogen hubs and has grand plans for using the same across the sectors. It can also provide India the energy security by reducing the ever-increasing oil import bill while charting a pathway to green alternatives for ‘hard-to-abate’ industries like refineries, fertilizers, steel, and transport.

Green hydrogen production capacity in India is estimated to grow to at least 5 MMTPA by 2030 in line with the nation’s Green Hydrogen Mission, which would call for investments upward of 100 billion dollars.
