Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is committed to offering affordable green hydrogen as a viable substitute for conventional fuels, as stated by Chairman, Mukesh Ambani. Ambani emphasized the importance of transitioning to cleaner energy sources as a fundamental part of their decarbonisation strategy. The company is actively progressing in building a top-tier solar energy value chain. The ultimate objective is to present cost-effective green hydrogen as a practical alternative to traditional fuels.
Although RIL is one of the world’s largest producers of grey hydrogen, the company is taking steps to transform its approach. Collaborating with Denmark’s Stiesdal A/S, RIL aims to decrease expenses and commercialise their pressurized alkaline electrolyser technology. As reported by ETEnergyworld.com, in a significant milestone, RIL successfully produced its inaugural batch of green hydrogen by employing torrefied biomass in gasifiers. Notably, the utilisation of biomass firing at their petrochemical facilities has risen to constitute 11% of the overall feed, aligning with their proactive decarbonization endeavors.
RIL is actively developing the necessary infrastructure to facilitate the distribution of green hydrogen from its upcoming plant located in Gujarat. The company is gearing up for the commencement of green hydrogen production by 2025. In this pursuit, RIL has secured a substantial land area of 74,750 hectares in Gujarat through a forty-year lease agreement, dedicated to its ambitious green hydrogen project.
