L&T commissions first indigenously manufactured electrolyser at green hydrogen plant in Hazira
Larsen and Toubro has commissioned its first indigenously manufactured hydrogen electrolyser at the green hydrogen plant in Hazira, Gujarat.
The company said this signifies L&T Electrolyser Ltd's foray into the domestic electrolyser manufacturing.
"Featuring a rated power capacity of 1 MW (expandable to 2 MW), this electrolyser can produce 200 Nm3/Hr of hydrogen. It is equipped with two stacks and an electrolyser processing unit ML-400, and offers exceptional flexibility and thermal stability," the company said in a stock exchange filing, adding that in the coming weeks, the electrolyser would be undergoing rigorous testing to optimise its performance.
Hydrogen is made by splitting H2O (water) into two molecules -- hydrogen and oxygen — via electrolysis, which is an electrical process. The method requires electrolysers, and if the same is powered by renewable energy, then the product formed is green hydrogen — a fuel that is free of greenhouse emissions.
