INOX Air Products (INOXAP), India’s major manufacturer of industrial, electronic and medical gases, announced the successful commissioning of its first-ever Green Hydrogen manufacturing Plant at Asahi India Glass Limited’s (AIS) greenfield float glass facility at Soniyana in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. AIS, India’s major glass manufacturer, have entered into a 20-year offtake agreement with INOXAP for supply of Green Hydrogen, to this facility. The Plant, powered by solar energy, will have a capacity to generate up to 190 Tons of Green Hydrogen per Annum through the electrolysis process.
As a part of the agreement, AIS has invested in the solar power plant, which is supplying renewable energy for the generation of Green Hydrogen, which would be further consumed in AIS’s float glass manufacturing process.
The agreement with INOX Air Products for setting up a Green Hydrogen plant for this project is a part of AIS’s overall sustainability strategy, and is inspired by their vision to reduce carbon footprint in the glass manufacturing process.
