Adani Total Gas Limited (ATGL) and Total Energies has unveiled a pilot project for green hydrogen blending in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. ATGL will utilise novel technologies to combine green hydrogen with natural gas, catering to more than 4,000 residential and commercial customers in the state.
Furthermore, the proportion of green hydrogen in the blend will be raised to 8 per cent or more, contingent on regulatory approvals. The project is anticipated to be operational by the first quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025. Following the successful completion of the pilot phase, the hydrogen-blended fuel will be systematically distributed to other areas of the city and additional license regions of AGTL.
This blending of green hydrogen can significantly reduce emissions up to 4 per cent. Through this pilot project, ATGL aims to collaborate with diverse stakeholders, including regulatory bodies, to share its firsthand insights and foster an ecosystem for hydrogen blending in city gas distribution in India. This will facilitate the acquisition and exchange of knowledge regarding the operational facets and the suitability of blended fuel for the current infrastructure.
Recently, In August 2023, Mundra Solar Energy announced the commissioning of its 2 GW solar cells and modules manufacturing facility. The facility is situated in Mundra, Gujarat.
In May 2023, Adani Wind Energy Kutchh Five Limited inaugurated a 130 MW wind power plant in Gujarat, Kutch. The newly commissioned plant would be operated by the Adani Group’s intelligent ‘Energy Network Operation Centre’.
