Fusion Fuel Green PLC of Ireland to establish partnership with BGR Energy Systems Ltd, India to develop Green Hydrogen Projects in India

DUBLIN, Ireland:Fusion  Fuel Green  PLC a green  hydrogen technology company,  is pleased to  announce that it has signed  an MoU with BGR  Energy Systems Limited one of India’s leading  EPC companies, to develop  green hydrogen projects  in India. .The  companies intend  to establish  an initial  demonstrator plant  in India in 2021 and thereafter develop  larger-scale projects in the region  for the supply of hydrogen  for the production of  green ammonia and  bio-ethanol, and as a feedstock for other heavy industrial applications.

Fusion Fuel will install a small   demonstrator facility for BGR Energy in  the region of Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu,  India in the second  half of 2021 using  its market-leading  HEVO-SOLAR  technology  to  generate  cost-competitive   green hydrogen. The  companies  will  then  co-develop  projects  throughout  India, leveraging BGR  Energy’s  extensive  client network  and  existing  commercial footprint.  The  companies  will  also  explore  broader  areas  of  potential cooperation given BGR Energy’s broad competencies in the energy, environmental and industrial sectors.

Since its inception,  BGR Energy has  developed more than  12,000 MW of  power plants and  Balance  of Plant  related  services in  India,  and it  also  has substantial capabilities in the design and manufacture of high-tech equipment, which leaves BGR well-positioned to take the lead in developing green hydrogen production infrastructure in the region.

Hydrogen already plays a critical role  in the Indian economy, with roughly  6 million tons of  hydrogen consumed  annually, primarily in  the production  of ammonia and methanol, as well  as for use in  refineries. A recent study  from The Energy and Resources Institute estimated that demand could grow to as much as 28 million tons by 2050. Virtually all the hydrogen consumed in India today is grey hydrogen, the production  of which emits roughly  9 tons of CO per ton of hydrogen. Enabling cost-effective domestic production of green hydrogen will be critical  to reduce the  carbon intensity of  heavy industry and  help India achieve its energy security and emissions targets.

João Wahnon,  Fusion  Fuel’s Head  of  Business Development,  noted,  “We  are excited to open  up this new  market for Fusion  Fuel and develop  India as  a leader of the global hydrogen economy. We  could not ask for a better  partner in this undertaking than BGR Energy, with its extensive experience  developing turnkey solutions in India’s power and industrial sector.”

Arjun Govind  Raghupathy,  Managing Director  of  BGR Energy  commented,  “BGR Energy has long been  an innovator in India’s  energy and industrial  sectors, and we are excited now to be taking these steps to establish a foothold in the burgeoning green hydrogen  industry. We  look forward to  working with  Fusion Fuel to scale the  development of local green  hydrogen production and play  a leading role in creating a green hydrogen ecosystem in the region.”
