Greenzo's Green Hydrogen Story details Greenzo Energy India Limited's journey and capabilities in the green hydrogen sector. The company is ISO 9001-14001 certified.
**Company Overview and Timeline:**
Greenzo Energy India Limited is registered in India as of November 2022. They have a subsidiary company registered in the UK. The company signed an MOU with the Gujarat Government in December 2022 for 250 MW and another MOU in February 2023 with API & TROJEN ENERGY for 58 MW & Land Allotment. The approved building plan, NOC, and water/electricity connections were secured in July 2023. The Groundbreaking Ceremony by Shri Amit Shah took place in October 2023. The revenue generation is planned for March 2024 and product launch in April 2024. Their electrolyzer has an efficiency of 70% + and the hydrogen gas purity is 99.999%.
**Leadership:**
Greenzo is led by a team of technocrats with experience in organizations like NTPC and young professionals from institutes like IIT and NIT. Sandeep Agarwal is the Founder & Managing Director. Other key leaders include Er. Vipin Garg, Er. KC Niraula, Dr. Sachin Tomar, Er. Ravi Virdi, Mr. Bharat Gupta, Mr. Raj Agarwal, Mr. Kushal Agarwal, and CA Amit Singal.
**Electrolyzer Technology:**
Greenzo Energy manufactures electrolyzers and BOP and is the only indigenous manufacturer of electrolyzer + BOP in India. They utilize alkaline electrolyzers due to their lower capital costs compared to PEM electrolysis. Alkaline electrolyzers do not depend on noble metals, making hydrogen production cost-effective, and are designed to cater to India's environmental needs with an operating range of -20°C to 60°C and a lifespan of 20 years. The company's electrolyzer stacks can produce from 100 Nm3/hr to 1000 Nm3/hr, operating at 0.5 MW, 1 MW, 2MW, and 5MW. The electrolyzer requires 42-44 kWhr of electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, compared with 50-55 kWhr of a typical alkaline electrolyzer. By producing hydrogen at 30 bar, the electrolyzer eliminates the need for additional compressors saving energy costs, reducing equipment needs, and enhancing overall.
**Manufacturing and Production:**
Greenzo Energy India Limited has launched India's first indigenous green hydrogen alkaline electrolyzer equipped with robotic solutions. The company has an existing 250 MW Electrolyzer Production Facility at Gujarat and plans for two plants in Goa and Odisha by 2030. The Ahmedabad facility will produce 250 MW of electrolyzers per year. One 5MW electrolyzer system will produce 2135 kg of H2 per day. Highlights for FY 2023-24 include electrolyzer production installed to 250 MW by January 2025, multiple green hydrogen projects with a capacity of 125 MW, and a commitment to 250 MW of solar projects across India. The company’s existing 250 MW capacity is planned to expand to 2 GW by 2030.
**Market Opportunity:**
India is targeting 280 GW of solar installations by 2030, with a CAGR of over 52% from 2023 to 2028, resulting in investments up to $792.5 billion during 2023-28. The green hydrogen market in India is projected to be 340 Bn by 2050, with 5 Mn Tons per year planned manufacturing of green hydrogen by 2030 in India. 10% of global demand by 2050 will be from India. Identified markets with a high electrolysis potential exceeding 2,000 GW include industrial hydrogen applications. Strong momentum within mobility, especially within heavy-duty vehicles (HDV).
**Greenzo Today:**
Greenzo has installed 250 MW of electrolyzer production by January 2025, expanding to 2 GW by 2030. It has multiple green hydrogen projects with a capacity of 125 MW.
