Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Steel on Thursday said that the Government is looking forward to introducing Hydrogen-CNG (H-CNG) as an intermittent technology “in a big way for both automotive and domestic applications.”
Pradhan said that “by establishing synergies with natural gas, hydrogen can be easily adopted in the energy mix without seeking major infrastructure overhauling.
“Our refineries are planning to leverage the available surplus hydrogen capacities in gray form for meeting initial demand in mainstreaming hydrogen. One of such projects is underway at out Gujarat refinery of Indian Oil wherein the combination of hydrogen production through natural gas and its hyphenation with carbon capture technology will result in the production of blue hydrogen,” he said.
