Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a 'Maharatna' and Fortune Global 500 company, has collaborated with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to scale up the Alkaline Electrolyser technology for Green Hydrogen generation. Electrolyser plants are currently imported. This is a one-of-a-kind programme to help the country meet its renewable energy targets and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Hydrogen is used in enormous quantities by refineries to de-sulfurize petroleum, diesel, and other compounds. Hydrogen is now produced at the refinery using. Natural gas steam reforming, however, produces a lot of CO2. As a result, refiners are erecting large-scale electrolysers to manufacture Green Hydrogen from water and thereby decarbonize the hydrogen production process.
"BPCL is entirely committed to environmental conservation and achieving a greener planet," stated Mr. Arun Kumar Singh, C&MD – Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd., speaking at the event. In all of our efforts, we have made great use of technology. Today, we plan to scale up Indigenous Alkaline Electrolyser Technology in conjunction with BARC, and we hope to commercialise it for large-scale use, particularly in refineries. In our quest to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2040, this will be another step toward "Atmanirbhar Bharat."
Bharat Petroleum intends to diversify its renewable energy portfolio with solar, wind, and biofuels, reiterating its commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction. Furthermore, the Company wants to use renewable energy to meet the power needs of future projects in its refineries.
