INOXCVA, a part of the US$ 3 billion capital INOX group of companies, is a globally acclaimed company offering comprehensive solutions in cryogenic storage, vaporization, and distribution engineering, has unveiled a 283m3 liquid hydrogen storage tank which it claims is the largest manufactured in India.
The bulk cryogenic storage tank, built to European standards to meet Korean Gas Safety requirements, is departing the company’s Kandla facility for a clean energy demonstration project in South Korea.
Calling it a ‘cryogenic marvel’, Siddharth Jain, Executive Director, INOX Group, commented on the achievement, saying that the delivery is ‘empowering India’s vision of becoming a green hydrogen hub.”
This tank, which is the first in a series of many such solutions to be manufactured at our Kandla facility, will strengthen India’s hydrogen infrastructure and support the country’s vision of becoming a green hydrogen hub., Jain has said.
In 2020, Doosan Corporation announced the construction of South Korea’s very first hydrogen liquefaction plant of 5 Tons Per Day capacity for the Changwon Hydrogen Liquefaction Project with Gyeongnam Province, Changwon City, at Doosan’s site at the Changwon Port.
The plant is slated to start commercial operations in 2023, offering supplies to hydrogen charging stations nationwide for buses, trucks and trams, that need to be recharged with hydrogen as ultimate clean fuel.
Doosan Corporation had signed an agreement with Air Liquide Engineering & Construction to support the construction of this liquid hydrogen plant as an enabler of clean transport development in the country.
Under this framework, Air Liquide Engineering & Construction, France, placed the order for the design, manufacturing and supply of the bullk liquid hydrogen tank.
Hydrogen is liquefied at a cryogenic temperature of -253°C, making it dense enough to be stored and transported as liquid hydrogen, with its gaseous volume reduced 800 times when liquified.
This new liquefier is in line with the South Korean Government’s plan to considerably densify the network of hydrogen stations in the country with 310 stations and more than 67,000 hydrogen vehicles across the country.
INOXCVA also flagged off its 100th LNG Semi-Trailer for the Indian market in a ceremony held at its Kalol Plant in Gujarat India for Green Line, a subsidiary of Seros Group, reports H2-View.com. The firm has been developing small scale LNG distribution in India for more than 14 years.
In April, IRM Energy inaugurated its 1st LCNG Mother Station for full commercial operations in Gujarat.
The LCNG Station will provide clean energy in the region and cater to several CNG daughter stations to feed the growing population of CNG vehicles as well as supply piped natural gas to domestic households and commercial customers.
I thank the write for sharing details about increasing use of Green Hydrogen in India. It is a commendable step towards promoting sustainability. The blog provides a comprehensive overview of India's green hydrogen ambitions, outlining the key objectives, initiatives, and challenges associated with this transformative technology. The author effectively conveys the significance of green hydrogen in achieving India's net-zero targets and highlights the government's efforts to promote research, development, and commercialization of this clean energy source.
