A major step toward large-scale green hydrogen production in India has been taken, with thyssenkrupp nucera commissioned to carry out a detailed design study for a 260 MW water electrolysis plant, Chemical Industry Digest News reported.
The study has been awarded by Juno Joule Green Energy Private Ltd., which plans to produce green hydrogen through water electrolysis. The hydrogen will be converted into green ammonia, mainly for export to European Union markets.
The Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) study will help define the technical framework of the project and prepare it for the next phase. Following this, the two companies are expected to work towards signing an Engineering, Procurement and Fabrication (EPF) contract, which will be key to moving the project into execution.
A final investment decision on the project is expected in the 2026–27 financial year. If approved, the plant is likely to strengthen India’s position in the global clean fuel market.
The project is part of wider efforts to promote green energy and reduce carbon emissions, with green ammonia seen as an important fuel for international markets. Officials said the initiative reflects growing momentum in India’s renewable energy sector and its push to become a major supplier of sustainable fuels.
