A significant partnership has been formed between Splitwaters, a US-based company known for its innovative electrolyzers and balance of plant equipment for green hydrogen production, and Oriana Power, a leading commercial and industrial solar manufacturer based in India.
This collaboration aims to develop renewable hydrogen and e-fuel facilities, such as green methanol, e-methanol, and green ammonia, within India.
Comprehensive Solutions for Green Hydrogen Production
In this partnership, Oriana Power is set to play a crucial role in business development and the implementation of projects in the Indian market.
Oriana will also be responsible for supplying the necessary alkaline electrolyzers and other critical equipment required for green hydrogen projects.
Additionally, the company will provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services to clients across India.
While Oriana Power will supply the electrolyzers, these will be based on the cutting-edge technology and modular design pioneered by Splitwaters.
This flexible technology represents Splitwaters’ full-service solution, designed to reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) for green hydrogen and e-fuel projects by up to 30 percent.
The resulting cost savings are expected to make these sustainable energy solutions more efficient and affordable.
Furthermore, the partnership between Splitwaters and Oriana Power extends beyond India. Oriana will support Splitwaters in its green hydrogen and e-fuel projects internationally, leveraging its capabilities and market presence to advance the global clean energy industry.
Advancing India’s Green Hydrogen Revolution
The newly established agreement between Splitwaters and Oriana Power is poised to significantly benefit India’s green hydrogen and e-fuels sectors.
The combined expertise and innovative technologies brought together by this partnership are expected to propel India’s green hydrogen revolution forward, paving the way for the nation to achieve a cleaner, more efficient, and cost-effective energy future.
Anirudh Saraswat, Chief Business Officer at Oriana Power, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating that it will enable Oriana Power’s clients to reach their Final Investment Decisions more quickly and produce hydrogen from renewable sources at highly competitive prices.
Saraswat further noted that this partnership is a significant development for Oriana Power, expressing the company’s enthusiasm to elevate India’s renewable hydrogen sector to new heights.
India’s Strategic Focus on Hydrogen
During the global pandemic, India recognized the critical importance of diversifying its energy demand and geographical energy availability.
In response, the nation has increasingly focused on bolstering its National Energy Security.
Recognizing the transformative potential of green hydrogen, India launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission in 2023.
This initiative is aimed at positioning India as a global hub for producing, utilizing, and exporting green hydrogen, marking a significant step in the country’s energy strategy.
The partnership between Splitwaters and Oriana Power is a testament to India’s commitment to advancing its green hydrogen sector. By combining local expertise with innovative technology, this alliance is set to play a pivotal role in realizing India’s ambitions within the global energy landscape.
