In a landmark move, Asahi India Glass Limited (AIS) and INOX Air Products (INOXAP) have entered a two-decade pact for the supply of Green Hydrogen to AIS's cutting-edge float glass facility in Soniyana, Rajasthan. This partnership heralds India's first Green Hydrogen Plant for the Float Glass industry, signaling a shift towards sustainable glass manufacturing. Scheduled for commissioning by July 2024, the plant will generate up to 190 tons of Green Hydrogen annually through solar-powered electrolysis. INOXAP assumes responsibility for the entire Green Hydrogen supply chain, including design, engineering, installation, and operations, ensuring a continuous flow of eco-friendly fuel to AIS. Initially, 95 tons per annum of Green Hydrogen will be provided to AIS, with plans for expansion in subsequent phases. AIS will invest in solar infrastructure to power the hydrogen generation process, aligning with its commitment to renewable energy. Rupinder Shelly, COO-Architectural Glass at Asahi India Glass Ltd, emphasized the company's sustainability ethos, expressing pride in pioneering Green Hydrogen usage in the Float Glass sector. The Soniyana facility aims to source 94% of its energy from renewable sources, demonstrating AIS's dedication to environmental responsibility. Siddharth Jain, Managing Director of INOX Air Products, underscored the transformative potential of Green Hydrogen in India's energy landscape, citing its role in reducing CO2 emissions and advancing the country's green economy agenda.
