Ohmium starts 1st green hydrogen electrolyzer gigafactory in India

Moving in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s green hydrogen road map that he announced in his Independence Day speech this year, the Us-based renewable energy company Ohmium International, through its Indian subsidiary, has started India’s first green hydrogen electrolyzer manufacturing unit at Bengaluru on Tuesday. The company is already in talks with some state-run majors and also private players keen on hydrogen projects for supply of electrolysers from our electrolyser gigafactory in Karnataka, said Pashupathy Gopalan, an Ohmium Investor. This comes at a time when industry majors like Reliance Industries, Adani Group, staterun Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), NTPC and Gail India have shown interest to be in fray to be part of the green hydrogen roadmap for India. While blue hydrogen is created from fossil sources, where the carbon emissions are captured and stored, green hydrogen is made from non-fossil sources. To produce green hydrogen through any process, electrolysis is required. Electrolysis is the process used to split water into oxygen and hydrogen. An electrolyser is the system in which electrolysis is done, making it the most vital part in terms of making hydrogen economically viable.
