Green Energy Projects at Deendayal Port
Two big clean energy projects are happening at Deendayal Port in Gujarat, India.
One project, by Oswal Greenzo Energies, will make green hydrogen using solar or wind power.
This plant can make about 800 tonnes of green hydrogen every year.
The other project, by Assam Petro-Chemicals Limited (APL) and Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), will make green methanol using solar energy.
This plant will cost Rs 1,200 crore and create jobs for about 3,500 people.
Both projects are part of India's plan to use more clean energy and reduce pollution.
Green hydrogen and green methanol are made using renewable energy, which helps the environment.
These projects will make the port a important place for clean fuel.
Oswal Greenzo Energies has secured a 5 MW green hydrogen project at Deendayal Port, Kandla, Gujarat.
The green hydrogen plant will produce approximately 800 tonnes of green hydrogen annually.
Assam Petro-Chemicals Limited (APL) and Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) signed an MoU to set up a 150-tonnes-per-day green methanol plant at the same port.
The green methanol project involves a joint investment of Rs 1,200 crore and is expected to generate around 3,500 direct and indirect employment opportunities.
Both projects aim to support clean energy adoption in port operations and the mobility sector, and to reduce carbon emissions.
