Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) announced that it has signed a technology transfer agreement (TTA) with Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to fully develop alkaline electrolyser systems for hydrogen production domestically.
Under the terms of the agreement, the firm will obtain indigenous diaphragm technology for electrolysers. This is an essential move in advancing India's green hydrogen goal.
The agreement highlights BARCs Mixed-Matrix Membrane Diaphragm Technology, which will be employed in electrolyzer systems to differentiate hydrogen and oxygen during electrolysis.
This technology represents an additional affordable alternative for imported materials like Zirfon and diaphragms made from asbestos. At present, it is utilized in various systems.
By taking this step, the company's contribution to the clean energy transition is enhanced and supported by the increased use of green hydrogen, as local production becomes more viable within the nation.
Electrolysers play a vital role in generating green hydrogen and are powered by renewable electricity, serving as a clean alternative for sectors like steel, fertilizers, and transportation.
Navratna PSU BHEL is the biggest engineering and manufacturing company in India within the energy and infrastructure fields. It is a top global manufacturer of power equipment. As of 31 December 2024, the Government of India owned a 63.17% share in the company.
