Ohmium International, a leading provider of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen technology, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited in New Delhi. The partnership aims to develop hydrogen-based solutions by combining Toyota’s PEM fuel cell modules with Ohmium’s advanced PEM electrolyzers.
The signing ceremony was held at the Shangri-La Eros Hotel and attended by notable government dignitaries, including the Hon’ble Union Cabinet Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Roads, Transportation, and Highways, who was the chief guest. Also present were Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, Minister of State for New & Renewable Energy, and Shri Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Minister of Environment, Industries, Food & Supplies, and Forest & Wildlife for the Government of Delhi. Key representatives from Toyota Kirloskar Motor, including Vice Chairperson Ms. Manasi Tata Kirloskar and Deputy Managing Director Mr. Swapnesh R. Maru, expressed their strong support for the collaboration.
Through this alliance, the two companies will explore ways to integrate Toyota’s fuel cell technology with Ohmium’s modular and efficient system designs. Ohmium’s electrolyzer modules, factory-assembled and tested, offer rapid and cost-effective installation. Backed by Toyota Motor Corporation Japan, Toyota Kirloskar Motor brings deep expertise in fuel cell innovation to the table, while Ohmium contributes its highly efficient PEM electrolyzer technology featuring advanced power electronics and closed-loop cooling systems. Together, they aim to boost the scalability, efficiency, and affordability of green hydrogen solutions.
“At Toyota, we are committed to driving a sustainable future through innovation and partnerships,” said Mr. Sudeep Dalvi, Chief Communication Officer and Senior Vice President at Toyota Kirloskar Motor. “This collaboration marks an important step in advancing green hydrogen technology in India. By combining our fuel cell expertise with Ohmium’s cutting-edge PEM technology, we hope to deliver scalable and affordable solutions that support India’s goals for carbon neutrality, energy security, and environmental sustainability.”
Echoing this enthusiasm, Ohmium CEO Arne Ballantine said, “Toyota is a global leader in fuel cell and hydrogen technology, and we’re excited to join forces with them to make green hydrogen-powered solutions practical and accessible in the near term.”
Headquartered in the United States with manufacturing operations in India, Ohmium manages a diverse global pipeline of green hydrogen projects spanning sectors like refineries, transportation, steel, ammonia, and methanol. This joint venture underscores both companies’ commitment to accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen and building a sustainable hydrogen-based society.
