Overview
Direct coupled solar PV-Electrolyser system offer a cost effective production route of green hydrogen. Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyser offering the potential to respond even more rapidly than any other electrolysers to required changes in capacity factor, suitable for fluctuating solar power. Our research focusing on the development of less complex and flexible green H2 production system and indigenous fixed bed reactor for the onsite conversion of green hydrogen into sustainable methanol.
Key Features
- Fixed Bed, multistage Hydrogenation reactor based on in-house developed cost effective and durable catalyst material
- CO2 feedstock captured from industry emission reacted with green H2 for continuous production of sustainable methanol.
- Other potential application of green H2 and its derivatives as carbon-neutral chemical feedstock and liquid fuel also in progress.
