Ballard in India: focus on hydrogen generation and development
Hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a critical medium for the decarbonization of energy, industry, and mobility. Adani Group aims to be one of the largest green hydrogen producers in the world through accelerated investment in renewable energy. Efforts under this MoU will be anchored by Adani New Industries Limited, the newly formed subsidiary of Adani Enterprises, focused on generation of green hydrogen, including downstream products, green electricity generation, manufacture of electrolyzers and wind turbines, among others.
Ballard Power Systems has recently announced relevant agreements with Forsee Power and Mahle. Also, together with Chart Industries, the Canadian company has been carrying out tests on the use of liquid hydrogen, instead of gaseous one, especially for heavy-duty mobility applications.
