“India has the potential to become a global hub for green hydrogen production.”
— NITI Aayog, National Hydrogen Mission, 2023
It is undeniable that from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu green hydrogen is fastly becoming the cornerstone of India’s clean energy future. With government incentives pouring in and energy giants announcing multi-billion-rupee projects, every green hydrogen company in India is now facing the same question:
“Do we have the right technologies to scale smart, fast, and sustainably?”
Because building a green hydrogen plant isn’t just about installing an electrolyser and calling it a day. It’s about integrating future-ready systems that maximise output, cut operational costs, and prepare your business for real-world grid and industrial demands.
So whether you’re just starting or already scaling, here are five technologies your company simply must master.
- Advanced Hydrogen Electrolysers: The Beating Heart of Production
Every green hydrogen journey starts with splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. And the device that makes this magic happen? The hydrogen electrolyser.
But not all electrolysers are created equal. Here’s what India’s top players are choosing:
PEM Electrolysers (Proton Exchange Membrane):
Ideal for dynamic environments like solar or wind-based production. They’re compact, responsive, and produce high-purity hydrogen.- Alkaline Electrolysers:
A more mature, cost-effective option. They’re best suited for steady-state operations and large-volume outputs. - Solid Oxide Electrolyser Cells (SOECs):
These operate at high temperatures and are best paired with waste heat from industries. Still emerging, but powerful in the right setting.
The takeaway? Your choice of hydrogen electrolyser must align with your energy source, budget, and hydrogen purity goals.
Smart Power Electronics AC-DC Rectifiers
Let’s be honest—you can’t run an electrolyser on raw power from the grid. Electrolysers demand precise, high-quality DC (direct current) electricity, not the AC (alternating current) supplied by most utility grids.
That’s where industrial rectifiers and smart power electronics come in. These systems:
Convert AC to stable DC with minimal ripple voltage- Handle high voltage variations from renewable sources
- Enable phase control to optimise energy consumption
For any serious green hydrogen plant, having the right power infrastructure isn’t just a bonus—it’s a necessity.
Hydrogen Storage Compression Systems
What good is producing hydrogen if you can’t store it safely and efficiently?
Green hydrogen companies in India are now investing heavily in compression and storage technologies, including:
High-pressure tanks (350–700 bar) for mobility and export- Metal hydride systems for stationary storage
- Underground storage (in salt caverns or lined rock) for large volumes
With fluctuating grid demands and intermittent renewables, the ability to store hydrogen and dispatch it later is what makes green hydrogen more than just a clean fuel—it makes it a flexible energy carrier.
Modular Skid-Based Plant Designs
Here’s where smart engineering meets scalability.
Instead of building monolithic plants that take years to complete, modular hydrogen plants allow companies to:
Start small and scale up as demand grows- Speed up deployment timelines (weeks instead of years)
- Customise for off-grid, hybrid, or industrial setups
In a country as diverse as India—where one site may run on hydro while another depends on solar—modularity gives you the power to adapt fast and deploy smarter.
Digital Control Systems Predictive Analytics
Finally, let’s talk brains.
Today’s top-performing green hydrogen companies in India are investing in AI-powered energy management systems. These platforms:
Monitor electrolyser performance in real time- Predict maintenance needs before breakdowns happen
- Optimise power usage based on grid signals or weather patterns
This isn’t just about saving energy—it’s about increasing uptime, reducing costs, and making your green hydrogen plant truly autonomous.
