In a significant milestone, the Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) has inaugurated India's first multi-purpose (combined heat and power) Green Hydrogen Pilot Project at 1500-MW Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station (NJHPS) in Jhakri, Shimla. The state-of-the-art Green Hydrogen Pilot Project was inaugurated by SJVN Chairman and Managing Director Geeta Kapur. The project is the nation's first multi-purpose green hydrogen generation plant with a capability to cater to the High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) coating facility of the NJHPS for meeting its combustion fuel requirements in addition to generating electricity through its 25-kW capacity fuel cell. The project is set to produce hydrogen gas by splitting hydrogen and oxygen from water with the help of an alkaline electrolyser of 20 Nm3/hr capacity.
