National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) today announced that it has commenced India's first green hydrogen blending operation in the Piped Natural Gas (PNG) network in Kawas, Surat, Gujarat.
The first molecule of green hydrogen from the project was set in motion by P Ram Prasad, Head of Project, Kawas, in presence of other senior executives of NTPC Kawas and GGL.
NTPC and GGL have achieved this milestone in less than a year's time since the Prime Minister laid the foundation stone on July 30th 2022.
This facility is ready to supply H2- NG (natural gas) to households of Kawas township at Adityanagar, Surat, Gujrat.
This facility produces green hydrogen by the process of electrolysis where water is split into two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen using the process of electrolysis.
