GAIL bags Asian Oil & Gas Awards 2024

Its pioneering 4.3 TPD Green Hydrogen pilot project supports the country’s goal of becoming a global leader in green hydrogen technology.

GAIL (India) Limited was awarded with the Green Hydrogen Project of the Year - India recognition at the Asian Oil & Gas Awards 2024 for implementing 4.3 TPD Green Hydrogen pilot project at Vijaipur (Madhya Pradesh). On behalf of the company, Shri Deepak Gupta, Director (Projects) and Sh. Rajeev Kumar Singhal, Director (BD) along with other GAIL officials received this prestigious award on 22 October 2024 at an award function in Singapore. 

This Green Hydrogen pilot project is a cornerstone in the GAIL’s Net Zero journey and aligns with National Green Hydrogen Mission (NHGM) of Govt. of India. The project is based on a 10 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyser to produce 99.99% pure Hydrogen. This project is a testament to establishing India as a global hub in this field.

Besides sourcing renewable power through open access, GAIL is also setting up around 20 MW Solar power plants at Vijaipur (both Ground Mounted and Floating) to meet the requirement of green power for the 10 MW PEM Electrolyzer.

The utilisation of the unit sets a benchmark for the industry as it is currently the largest PEM electrolyser-based Green Hydrogen plant in India. With the success of this project, GAIL is poised to lead in supplying green hydrogen across various sectors. This initiative will not only diversify revenue streams but also speed up the adoption of hydrogen technology and support the development of a hydrogen-based economy as envisioned by the Indian government.

The Asian Oil & Gas Awards recognises excellent initiatives, transformations in the industry and the companies that have overcome various challenges and remained steadfast towards excellence.
