In a first, a made-in-India electrolyser has been shipped to the US.
Ohmium International, the young manufacturer of electrolysers, which has just commenced production at its first plant, at Bangalore, India, had always said that until the Indian market for its products evolved, it could always sell to the US and elsewhere.
USA-headquartered Ohmium manufactures Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology-based electrolyzers to produce green hydrogen. The factory has a capacity of producing about 500 MW of electrolysis equipment per annum, which is eventually planned for expansion to 2 GW per annum.
“The first shipment of a product is a big moment for any company. This is especially exciting for Ohmium as well as all of our suppliers in India because it proves beyond a doubt that both manufacturing and technology excellence in the field of green hydrogen generation are in India’s wheelhouse. We feel that when we export Ohmium products from India we are pushing the boundaries of the Honorable Prime Minister’s AatmaNirbhar Bharat and National Hydrogen Mission—in a good way—by expanding the global impact of these programs,” said Arne Ballantine, CEO and co-founder, Ohmium.
“We are seeing significant activity in India and around the world in green hydrogen projects. Ohmium is constantly working towards providing innovative, scalable, profitable, flexible, and safe solutions that can be leveraged to achieve competitive levelized costs of hydrogen, supporting the growth of India’s economy. We are confident of Green Hydrogen as the fuel of the future owing to its enormous potential, numerous applications across sectors, and a zero-carbon footprint. Currently, our factory has a manufacturing capacity of approximately 500 MW per year, and we can rapidly expand it to 2 GW per year to facilitate India’s accelerated transition to clean energy systems,” said Ahmad Chatila, Chairman, Ohmium.
