MRPL has already invited tenders for the electrolysis process and will provide space for the outsourcing company within its premises. The refinery intends to use this hydrogen in conjunction with that produced at its facility.
Interest in green hydrogen was particularly evident at the ‘Invest Karnataka 2022′ investors’ conference in Bengaluru, where nine proposals worth Rs 2.86 lakh crore were accepted. Many investors favoured Mangaluru due to its port facilities, making it ideal for exports. MRPL’s initiative marks a significant step toward realising this potential.
