Hydrogen economy stakeholders believe that Pune is strategically positioned to become the hydrogen hub in the country with all the necessary building blocks in place. There exists technological competence in electrolysers, fuel cells, biomass-based hydrogen, power electronics, testing and calibration, and R&D to successfully develop a Hydrogen Valley in the region. Dozens of companies are working on hydrogen fuel.
There are also green hydrogen offtake possibilities in Pune and neighbourhood regions, in industry sectors such as mobility, fine chemicals, steel, and fertilisers as well as in other sectors such as data centres, cold storage and gated communities. Hydrogen generation possibilities from sugar industries were significant.
To promote hydrogen economies, large-scale hydrogen flagship projects (Hydrogen Valleys – H2Vs) have been set up in 20 countries across the globe….
