Technip Energies has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) contract by NTPC for its Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) based hydrogen generation plant project at Vindhyachal, Madhya Pradesh, India.

 

The EPCC contract covers the delivery of a 5 MW Hydrogen Generation Plant using Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis technology at a Super Thermal Power station. 

 

This project is suited for a large scale green hydrogen production facility as power to Electrolyser can be replaced with renewable electricity in the future.

 

NTPC is setting up this plant along with two other units – the first, a CO2 capture facility that captures CO2 from flue gas stream of the coal fired power plant and the second being a Methanol unit that uses the captured CO2 and the Hydrogen through PEM Electrolyser being supplied by Technip Energies to convert it into green Methanol.

 

Davendra Kumar, Senior Vice President India Business Unit at Technip Energies commented: “We are pleased to have been awarded this PEM based hydrogen project by NTPC. This award illustrates our commitment to Energy Transition and our strong project management capabilities in carbon-free energies. It is an honour to be part of one of the first ever PEM based hydrogen project in India of this scale in the country, marking a significant step towards decarbonisation of the Indian energy sector.”

 

Technip Energies is ready to lead the hydrogen wave in both decarbonised and carbon-free applications. With our 50-year track record in the sector, we are leveraging our expertise, proprietary technologies, wide-ranging partnerships and execution excellence to accelerate the energy transition and our commitment to a low-carbon society.-- TradeArabia News Service
