US-based Ohmium launches green hydrogen electrolyzer gigafactory

Renewable energy startup Ohmium International on Tuesday announced the start of India’s first green hydrogen electrolyzer gigafactory that will turn power from renewable sources into carbon-free hydrogen. The Bengaluru plant will have an initial manufacturing capacity of 500 MW per year, with plans to scale to 2 GW (2000 MW), the firm said in a statement.

“While a number of corporates have announced plans to produce green hydrogen, the manufacture of electrolyzer by Ohmium will ensure availability of end-to-end solution within the country and cut down dependence on imports for this key equipment,” it said.
