Current Events Current Affairs Analysis

v Adani Group recently commissioned India's first off-grid 5-megawatt green hydrogen pilot plant in Kutch, Gujarat.

v About India's First Off-Grid Green Hydrogen Pilot Plant

v Location: Kutch, Gujarat

v It is a 5 MW green hydrogen plant developed by Adani New Industries Limited (ANIL), the clean energy arm of Adani Enterprises Ltd.

oAn off-grid green hydrogen plant is a facility that produces hydrogen using electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, and is not connected to the main electrical grid

v This means the plant relies entirely on its own renewable energy generation for the hydrogen production process.

v The ANIL plant is fully powered by solar energy and works with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which enables it to operate completely off-grid.

v It features a fully automated and controlled electrolyser system, which is designed to respond to real-time renewable energy inputs.

oThis provision, also known as a closed-loop system, aids in flexibility of operations, particularly in addressing the shifting nature of solar power, while ensuring efficiency, safety, and performance.

v The initiative is aligned with the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), a flagship Government of India programme that aims to reduce import dependence, improve energy self-sufficiency, and ramp up decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries, all in fulfilment of India's Atmanirbhar Bharat.
