L&T commissions first indigenously manufactured hydrogen electrolyser

March 4, 2024

Larsen and Toubro has commissioned its first indigenously manufactured hydrogen electrolyser at the green hydrogen plant in Hazira, Gujarat.
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.
Process
- 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.
