Oil India, the nation's second-largest state-owned oil explorer, is setting up a plant to manufacture green hydrogen at its Jorhat oilfield in Assam.
The company has initiated action for setting up 100 kW green hydrogen plant at its pump station-3 in Jorhat.
The pilot plant will generate green hydrogen using AEM technology. This is a first-of-its-kind project in the country. The hydrogen so generated will be blended with natural gas using the existing infrastructure.
Green hydrogen is derived from water electrolysis using renewable energy like solar or wind. Biomass-based hydrogen production technologies also qualify under the green category.
