India’s renewable energy sector, Gensol Engineering, in partnership with Matrix Gas & Renewables, has secured the EPC contract for the country’s first bio-waste to green hydrogen project. Valued at ₹164 crore, this pioneering initiative marks a significant advance in the National Green Hydrogen Mission and promises to set a new benchmark in sustainable energy solutions.
The project, set to be completed within 18 months, will transform 25 tons of bio-waste into one ton of green hydrogen daily. This innovative approach leverages Pre-Gasification Plasma Induced Radiant Energy-Based Gasification System (GH2-PREGS) technology, a patented method developed in collaboration with Westinghouse, USA. This technology has been successfully employed in various global plants, ensuring the project’s robust technical foundation. The Chairman and Managing Director of Gensol Engineering, expressed enthusiasm about the project. “Emerging as the lowest bidder for the EPC of India’s first biomass-to-green hydrogen project underscores our commitment to renewable energy innovation. This project aligns perfectly with the National Green Hydrogen Mission and addresses pressing environmental challenges by converting bio-waste into clean energy,” he stated.
The Whole-time Director at Matrix Gas & Renewables, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the project’s significance in India’s energy transition. “We are proud to spearhead this groundbreaking initiative. It represents a significant step forward in creating a green hydrogen ecosystem and demonstrates our dedication to precision and efficiency,” he remarked. The project not only advances India’s green energy goals but also has potential benefits for local communities and the broader economy. By converting bio-waste into hydrogen, the project will reduce landfill waste, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and create new job opportunities in the renewable energy sector. The successful implementation of this project could serve as a model for future green hydrogen initiatives, supporting India’s ambition to become a global leader in sustainable energy.
