Horizon Fuel Cell’s subsidiary, HET Hydrogen Pte Ltd, is collaborating with Indify Fuel Cell Private Ltd. to form a joint venture. The partnership aims to establish assembly facilities with a capacity to produce gigawatt-scale electrolysers in two phases. The initial phase, set to become operational in early 2026, will focus on assembling at least 100 megawatts per year.
The government’s ‘Green Hydrogen Mission’ prioritizes green hydrogen as part of its strategy to promote sustainable industry practices, decarbonize transportation, and explore new export opportunities. HET is poised to be a significant player in India’s drive to lead globally in hydrogen adoption across various sectors.
HET has successfully commercialized megawatt-scale Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers and is set to launch megawatt-scale Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) electrolysers. These new electrolysers, featuring proprietary membrane and stack technology, aim to offer competitive capital costs similar to traditional alkaline systems while significantly reducing operating costs compared to advanced PEM systems.
HET is evaluating several potential manufacturing sites and will announce the chosen location in the coming months. The Horizon Group, with its experience in efficiently constructing top-tier production facilities for fuel cell and electrolyser technologies, is well-prepared for this venture.
Indify plans to have its first one megawatt HET electrolyser operational in India by March 2025 for customer demonstrations and local technical validation. The company aims to progressively increase the Indian content in future systems, striving to achieve the lowest levelized cost of green hydrogen for both large and small projects.
As reported by h2bulletin.com, various initiatives have been launched to boost hydrogen production and develop key applications such as green steel, fertilizers, chemicals, sustainable fuels, and zero-emission heavy transport. These efforts aim to leverage some of the world’s most affordable green hydrogen in India’s future decarbonized economy.
