With the continued focus on clean environment, NTPC has taken up an initiative of blending of green hydrogen in PNG network of GGL (Gujarat Gas Limited) at NTPC Kawas.

A formal agreement between the two companies has been signed on 5th April 2022 in the presence of Shri Mohit Bhargava, CEO, NTPC REL & ED, RE, NTPC and Shri Sanjeev Kumar, MD-GGL & GSPL.

Green Hydrogen will be produced by using electricity from the existing 1 MW floating solar project of NTPC Kawas. This will be blended with PNG in a predetermined proportion and will be used for cooking applications in NTPC Kawas township. Initially, the percentage of hydrogen blending in the PNG shall be around 5% and after successful completion, it shall be further increased.

GGL is India's largest City Gas Distribution (CGD) Company and has a presence across 43 districts in 6 states and 1 Union territory

The project is a pioneering effort and the first of its kind in the country. This is a step toward the decarbonization of the cooking sector and self-sufficiency for the energy requirements of the nation.
