Advait Infratech awarded a green hydrogen project with THDCIL

Advait Infratech Limited has been awarded the nation’s first green hydrogen project of its kind. The end client for this project is THDC India Limited, a leading power sector and profit-making public sector enterprise. The project is set to be inaugurated at the end of this month.

THDCIL is registered as a public limited company under the Companies Act, 1956, and was conferred with the ‘Mini Ratna–Category-I Status in Oct-09 and up-graded to Schedule ‘A’ PSU in July-10 by the Govt. of India.

Expressing his delight at the occasion, Shalin Sheth, Founder and Managing Director, Advait Infratech Limited, commented, “We are delighted to be awarded the nation’s first green hydrogen project of its kind. We are committed to providing sustainable and innovative power solutions that meet the growing energy needs of our clients while reducing their carbon footprint. This project with THDC India Limited is a significant step in our journey toward a greener and cleaner future. We believe that this pilot project will demonstrate the feasibility of using hydrogen as a medium for storing renewable electricity and pave the way for large-scale adoption of this technology in India.”

This pilot project is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of using hydrogen as a medium for storing renewable electricity. Advait Infratech Limited will set up a 300KW electrolyzer and a 70KW fuel cell, which will generate 70KW of electricity for continuous 12 hours. This electricity will be used for the illumination purpose of THDC India Limited's premises and to supply electricity to their residential apartments. The project will store excess electricity generated from the solar panels on-site in the form of hydrogen, which can be used later when the demand for electricity exceeds the supply.

Speaking on the occasion, Gaurav Mishra, Vice President of Renewable Energy and Business Development said, “Advait Infratech Limited has taken an important step towards fulfilling the vision of creating our nation’s Green Hydrogen economy. The project is leading by an example, showing how technology and collaboration can help build a cleaner, safer, healthier and sustainable future for everyone. We are delighted about this project as Green Hydrogen technologies are set to accelerate renewable energy integration and pave the way for the transition to a sustainable and green economy in India.”

The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023 and will be a major milestone in India’s journey toward a sustainable and low-carbon future.
