HYDGEN has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Malati Fine Chemicals (MFC) to pioneer small-scale green hydrogen production in the sugar industry.
This strategic collaboration spotlights an innovative integration of renewable energy resources within the industrial sector, particularly leveraging the power of bagasse-based cogeneration at sugar mills. With MFC’s headquarters nestled in Pune, this partnership aims to tackle the challenges of decentralized hydrogen production by utilizing renewable power generated on-site.
The strategy involves producing green hydrogen, a crucial component in the chemistry of green methanol. This is achieved by harnessing CO₂ emissions from distillery fermentation processes within sugar mills. Should HYDGEN’s small-scale electrolyzer systems prove effective in this setting, a new model for decentralized energy production could unfold, offering subsequent applications not only in sugar but other sectors such as food processing and agro-chemicals.
The MoU outlines HYDGEN’s commitment to delivering its proprietary AEM electrolyzer systems and providing indispensable technical support. Meanwhile, MFC is tasked with supplying the necessary testing environments and infrastructure, alongside navigating the regulatory frameworks to evaluate the system’s performance effectively.
Furthermore, the duo is jointly exploring commercialization avenues, including government funding mechanisms. Given India’s substantial commitments towards renewable energy, these partnerships align with broader policy shifts aimed at limiting carbon footprints.
