- Evaluate efficacy of High Temperature Steam Electrolysis for H2 Generation and its replication and scale up.
Salient Features:
- High Temperature Steam (750-850 ° C) is utilized for generation of Hydrogen.
- It is one of the promising technologies for H2 generation.
- Phase-I: 20 KW electrolyser shall be installed at NETRA where in Steam Shall be supplied through steam generator. H2 produced shall be fed to planned H2 Grid at NETRA.
- Phase-II: After successful running for 6-12 months, the same HTSE module shall be transferred to VSTPP where plant steam shall be utilized for H2 generation. H2 produced shall be fed to upcoming Methanol plant at VSTPP.
Benefits:
- Reduction in power consumption for H2 generation.
- Demonstration of a potential H2 generation Technology.
- It can reduce the cost of H2 generation, fueling growth of HtE (Hydrogen to Energy) & HtP (Hydrogen to Products) ventures.
- Surplus steam available at thermal power plants can be effectively utilized
