Gensol Engineering Limited, in collaboration with Matrix Gas & Renewables Ltd, has secured a ₹164 crore contract to develop India’s first bio-hydrogen project, according to Energyworld. The consortium was the lowest bidder for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the project, which will convert 25 tons of bio-waste into 1 ton of hydrogen per day.
This groundbreaking project, expected to be completed in 18 months, is a significant milestone in line with India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and a key step toward promoting sustainable energy solutions. The partnership will use Westinghouse’s patented Pre-Gasification Plasma Induced Radiant Energy-Based Gasification System (GH2-PREGS) technology to power the project.
Anmol Singh Jaggi, Chairman and Managing Director of Gensol Engineering Ltd., expressed his pride in winning the bid, stating, “We are honored to lead the EPC for India’s first biomass-to-green hydrogen project. This represents a crucial part of our ongoing commitment to innovation in renewable energy.”
Chirag Kotecha, Whole-Time Director of Matrix Gas & Renewables Ltd., added, “This project marks a significant advancement in India’s energy transition efforts.”
The project is being developed in partnership with one of India’s leading power generation companies, and Gensol and Matrix plan to extend their collaboration into other green hydrogen ventures, including green steel and green ammonia initiatives.
