Larsen & Toubro (L&T) and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) have agreed to collaborate on research and development in the green hydrogen value chain.
Both institutions have teamed up to support the growth of India’s green hydrogen industry and the development of next-generation technology in this emerging field.
This partnership will be aided by L&T’s engineering expertise, product scale-up and commercialization expertise, and IIT Bombay’s cutting-edge research in hydrogen technologies.
Technology is critical to the development of a new industry like green hydrogen. Research and development in areas such as energy efficiency, reliability, and equipment cost reduction are critical to improving affordability, and thus a large-scale adoption of Green Hydrogen in India is urgently required. Recognizing this, L&T is collaborating with IIT Bombay as an industrial partner to support the development of India’s R&D ecosystem and technology leadership in the sector.
The Central Government announced the green hydrogen policy in February 2022, with the goal of increasing production of green hydrogen and green ammonia and assisting the country in becoming a global hub for the environmentally friendly version of the molecule. Green Hydrogen will help countries like India, with its ever-increasing oil and gas import bill, provide crucial energy security by reducing overall reliance on imported fossil fuels.
