SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 18, 2024 – Ohmium International, a leading provider of green hydrogen solutions, is set to play a pivotal role in establishing India's first green methanol plant. This groundbreaking project marks a significant step towards decarbonizing the country's energy sector and promoting sustainable development.
Collaboration for Green Methanol Production
Ohmium will be collaborating with several Indian organizations, including the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Breathe Applied Sciences, and Spirare Energy, to develop and deploy this innovative project.
Green Hydrogen: The Key Ingredient
The plant will utilize Ohmium's advanced PEM electrolyzer technology to produce green hydrogen, a crucial component in the production of green methanol. This technology uses renewable energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally friendly process.
Capturing and Utilizing CO2 Emissions
The project will combine green hydrogen with captured carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Singareni Thermal Power Plant. This innovative approach not only reduces CO2 emissions but also utilizes them as a valuable resource in the production of green methanol.
Synergizing Expertise and Technology
Breathe Applied Sciences and JNCASR have developed the process for synthesizing green methanol from CO2 emissions, while Spirare Energy, a leader in sustainable development projects in India, will be responsible for procuring the PEM solution from Ohmium.
Ohmium's Commitment to Safety and Reliability
Ohmium's dedication to safety and reliability has been recognized by UL Solutions, a global leader in safety science. The company recently received the "Hydrogen Generator Using Water Electrolysis" certification, acknowledging its commitment to delivering high-quality and safe hydrogen solutions.
Advancing Decarbonization and Sustainability
Professor Sebastian Peter, Co-Founder of Breathe Applied Sciences and Project Leader at JNCASR, highlighted the significance of this project:
"Converting CO2 from coal-based thermal power to green methanol can significantly advance decarbonisation and sustainability."
He also expressed his enthusiasm for the project's potential impact:
"proud to see the research applied to a real-world project and 'looks forward to seeing it scale.'"
Ohmium's Dedication to India's Energy Future
Arne Ballantine, CEO of Ohmium, emphasized the importance of this collaboration:
"pleased to collaborate again with Spirare Energy, a leader in sustainable development projects in India."
He further highlighted the project's potential to contribute to India's energy independence and reduce CO2 emissions:
"This is our second project together, and a very important one, as green methanol has the potential to significantly advance India's energy independence and reduce CO2 emissions. Building on our previous success, this follow-on project demonstrates our joint dedication to India's energy future."
A Promising Step Towards a Greener India
The development of India's first green methanol plant is a promising step towards a more sustainable and decarbonized energy future for the country. Ohmium's involvement in this groundbreaking project underscores its commitment to providing innovative green hydrogen solutions that contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable world.
