NTPC, India’s largest power utility, has embarked on a transformative journey towards green hydrogen production. The recent signing of a land lease agreement with the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) marks a pivotal step in realizing NTPC’s ambitious green energy objectives and aligning with the Government of India’s (GoI) energy transition efforts.
According to a white paper released by the New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation Of A.P. Ltd (NREDCAP), the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh is setting its sights on a monumental goal – the production of at least 500 kilo-tonnes per annum (ktpa) of green hydrogen by 2030.
India’s quest for a greener and more sustainable future takes a significant leap forward as Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) sets its sights on constructing a green hydrogen plant in Visakh Refinery, Andhra Pradesh.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has introduced the Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia Policy-2023, aiming to achieve a production capacity of 0.5 million tons per annum (MTPA) of green hydrogen and 2 MTPA of green ammonia within the next five years.
In order to establish several decentralized green hydrogen production facilities in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Amplus Solar and the Andhra Pradesh government have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
