MRPL begins 500 TPA green hydrogen production for captive-use

The Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL) has announced the initiation of a 500 tonnes per annum (tpa) green hydrogen production unit within its refinery premises. According to the company’s annual report for 2023-24, the green hydrogen produced from this new unit will be blended with the hydrogen currently produced at the refinery for internal use of MRPL.

Under India’s Green Hydrogen Policy, green hydrogen is defined as hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy or hydrogen derived from biomass. The National Green Hydrogen Mission identifies refineries, among other sectors, for green hydrogen adoption.

At present, MRPL meets its hydrogen needs for hydro-processing units through steam methane reforming units.

 “MRPL intends to produce green hydrogen on continuous basis with renewable energy power using water electrolysis method and the green hydrogen produced would be blended with hydrogen produced presently in the refinery for captive use,” the annual report of MRPL held.

The National Green Hydrogen Mission has been formulated by the Government to make India the Global Hub for production, usage and export of Green Hydrogen and its derivatives. This will contribute to India’s aim to become Aatmanirbhar through clean energy and serve as an inspiration for the global Clean Energy Transition. The Mission will lead to significant decarbonisation of the economy, reduced dependence on fossil fuel imports, and enable India to assume technology and market leadership in Green Hydrogen.
