India’s Green Hydrogen Ambitions and the Role of Electrolysers.
India has set an ambitious goal of producing 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green hydrogen by 2030, aiming to reduce 50 million tonnes of CO2 emissions and cut energy imports by Rs 1 trillion. Electrolysers, which are pivotal in the green hydrogen production process, account for 30–50 percent of the total cost of producing green hydrogen. With this target in mind, India’s electrolyser market is expected to grow substantially, reaching 20 GW by 2030, 112 GW by 2040, and 226 GW by 2050.
Challenges and Opportunities for Indigenous Electrolyser Manufacturing
A recent study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) sheds light on the potential for India to indigenize the manufacturing of hydrogen electrolysers. The research highlights that about 72 percent of the PEM electrolyser manufacturing cost can be indigenised. Most Balance of Plant (BoP) components, such as power converters and heat exchangers, are already produced in India for other applications and can be adapted for electrolyser manufacturing.
This presents an opportunity for Indian manufacturers to reduce costs and increase the local supply chain for electrolyser production. However, there are challenges to overcome, particularly in the production of certain key components.
Key Components and Mineral Dependency
Despite the potential for indigenization, some critical components for electrolysers are not yet manufactured in India. For example, the Nafion membrane, a crucial part of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysers, is not currently produced in the country. This means that, in the initial years, these components will need to be imported to meet production needs.
Moreover, India lacks domestic sources of key minerals such as platinum and iridium, which are essential for the electrolysis process. As a result, manufacturers will remain dependent on mineral imports unless alternatives are developed. However, the study notes that these imported components make up only 18 percent of the total electrolyser manufacturing cost, leaving room for indigenization in other areas.
Potential for Increased Indigenization
The CEEW report suggests that India can increase the indigenization of electrolyser manufacturing by focusing on raw material processing within the country. If India develops the capability to process key materials like platinum and iridium locally, it could significantly reduce its reliance on imports. This approach, coupled with the adaptation of existing manufacturing capabilities for electrolyser production, could help India achieve its green hydrogen targets more efficiently.
Conclusion: India’s Path to Green Hydrogen Independence
The growth of the electrolyser market in India offers significant economic and environmental benefits. By focusing on indigenizing electrolyser manufacturing and developing local supply chains for critical components, India can reduce costs, create jobs, and strengthen its position in the global green hydrogen market. While challenges remain, particularly around the availability of specific materials, the opportunities for indigenization present a clear path toward achieving India’s ambitious green hydrogen production targets and its overall energy transition goals.
India’s commitment to green hydrogen, supported by the growth of the electrolyser market, is a crucial step in reducing carbon emissions and energy imports while contributing to global sustainability efforts.

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), led by Dr. Woohyun Kim, have developed a cutting-edge nickel-cobalt composite catalyst that significantly enhances the production of turquoise hydrogen. This breakthrough presents a cleaner, more efficient alternative to traditional hydrogen production methods, offering significant advantages in both productivity and environmental impact.
The Promise of Turquoise Hydrogen
Turquoise hydrogen is produced by thermally decomposing methane (CH?) into hydrogen and solid carbon, without the release of carbon dioxide (CO?). This makes it a more environmentally friendly option compared to gray hydrogen, which emits greenhouse gases during production. With increasing global concerns about the environmental impact of hydrogen production, turquoise hydrogen represents a sustainable alternative, with the potential to support the global transition toward clean energy.
Lower Temperature, Higher Efficiency
Traditionally, the thermal methane cracking process required temperatures around 900°C, which limited its efficiency and increased energy consumption. However, Dr. Kim and his team have overcome this challenge by introducing a nickel-cobalt composite catalyst that allows hydrogen production to occur at a significantly lower temperature of 600°C—300°C less than traditional methods. This innovation increases productivity by 50%, making it a highly efficient solution for hydrogen generation.
Dual Benefits: Hydrogen and Carbon Nanotubes
One of the key advantages of this new catalytic process is its ability to generate both hydrogen and valuable byproducts, namely carbon nanotubes. These nanotubes, which form on the catalyst’s surface during the reaction, have numerous industrial applications, including use as electrode materials for solar cells and batteries. This dual production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes adds economic value to the process, making it a more sustainable and profitable technology.
The Role of the Nickel-Cobalt Catalyst
The breakthrough catalyst developed by Dr. Kim’s team consists of 8% nickel and 2% cobalt. This composition maximized hydrogen production efficiency and significantly improved the catalyst’s longevity. Compared to previous nickel-based catalysts, this new catalyst exhibited a 50% increase in hydrogen yield in the first 30 minutes of operation. Moreover, its active phase lasted approximately 150 minutes—much longer than the 90 minutes seen with earlier models—thereby extending the duration of hydrogen production.
Overcoming Commercialization Challenges
While turquoise hydrogen holds significant potential, its commercialization has been hampered by the high temperatures required for the reaction and the limited applications for the resulting solid carbon. Traditional nickel- and iron-based catalysts were not effective enough at lower temperatures, reducing their feasibility for industrial use. However, the introduction of the nickel-cobalt catalyst addresses these issues by improving efficiency at lower temperatures and providing a valuable byproduct—carbon nanotubes—that can be used in various industries.
Future Developments and Industrial Applications
Dr. Kim expressed confidence that this breakthrough will pave the way for scaling up turquoise hydrogen production. The team is focused on advancing mass production techniques using this new catalyst and conducting ongoing performance evaluations to optimize the reaction systems. This research marks a significant milestone in the global effort to produce clean hydrogen more efficiently and economically.
As nations, including South Korea, strive to meet ambitious hydrogen production targets—such as the South Korean government’s goal of 28 million tons of clean hydrogen by 2050—the development of cost-effective, low-temperature hydrogen production methods will play a critical role in achieving a sustainable hydrogen economy.
Conclusion
The innovative nickel-cobalt composite catalyst developed by Dr. Woohyun Kim and his team at KIER offers a promising solution for producing turquoise hydrogen more efficiently and economically. By reducing the required temperature and increasing productivity, this breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize hydrogen production and contribute significantly to global decarbonization efforts. With further development and scale-up, this technology could play a key role in the transition to cleaner energy sources worldwide.

ONGC Awaits West Bengal’s Nod for Petroleum Mining Lease to Develop Asokenagar Oil Field.
State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has made significant strides in its exploration efforts in West Bengal, discovering four more hydrocarbon fields since its initial find near Asokenagar six years ago. However, the development of these fields has been delayed due to the pending approval of a Petroleum Mining Lease (PML) from the West Bengal state government.
Discovery and Exploration Efforts
ONGC first notified the discovery at Asokenagar in Block WB-ONN-2005/4 on September 24, 2018. This discovery was the result of over five decades of exploration work by ONGC in the Bengal sedimentary basin. Initial laboratory studies revealed that the crude oil found in the Asokenagar field is of light variety, with an API gravity of 40-41 degrees, comparable to Bombay High and Brent Crude.
The discovery has sparked considerable interest, and ONGC moved swiftly to apply for a Petroleum Mining Lease (PML) for the area. The company submitted the PML application to the West Bengal government on September 10, 2020, for an area of 5.88 square kilometers in North 24 Parganas District under an Early Development Plan (EDP) to expedite the monetization of the Asokenagar-1 field.
Delays in PML Approval
Despite ONGC’s efforts, the Petroleum Mining Lease (PML) has not yet been granted by the West Bengal state government. While the central government had recommended the grant of PML a month after ONGC’s application, the state government has yet to act on the request, delaying the implementation of the Early Development Plan (EDP) and thus affecting the production of oil and gas from the Asokenagar field.
As per the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules, 1959, state governments hold the power to grant PML, but only after receiving recommendations from the central government. ONGC has followed up on the matter through multiple channels, including letters from the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas to the West Bengal government, as well as discussions in the Eastern Zonal Council meeting in July 2024. However, the state’s decision remains pending.

Despite the delay in the approval of the PML for Asokenagar-1, ONGC has continued its exploration activities, which led to the discovery of additional hydrocarbon fields in the surrounding areas, including Asokenagar-2, Kankpul-1, Bhurkunda-1, and Ranaghat-2. These discoveries have enhanced the hydrocarbon potential in the region and prompted ONGC to submit an Integrated Field Development Plan (FDP) to the Government of India, covering an expanded area of 99.06 square kilometers.
The Integrated FDP, which includes the EDP area of 5.88 square kilometers, received approval from the Government of India on July 10, 2024. Following this approval, ONGC submitted a new application for the PML for the expanded 99.06 square kilometer area to the Government of West Bengal on November 5, 2024.
Ongoing Efforts to Expedite PML Issuance
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, along with ONGC, continues to pursue the issuance of the PML from the West Bengal government. The central government has consistently followed up with the state government, sending multiple letters and requests, including a recommendation letter in October 2020, a request letter in February 2023, and a follow-up communication from the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons in January 2024.
The matter was also raised at the Eastern Zonal Council meeting held on July 4, 2024, in Ranchi, with a call for the West Bengal government to expedite its decision on the PML.
Conclusion
ONGC's efforts to unlock the potential of the Asokenagar oil field and its surrounding areas have been met with significant exploration success, with multiple discoveries made since 2018. However, the delay in obtaining the Petroleum Mining Lease from the West Bengal government has hindered the timely development and production of these fields. ONGC, along with the central government, remains committed to expediting the approval process to ensure that these resources contribute to the nation's energy needs and economic growth.

Ethanol Supply Faces Challenges Amid Feedstock Shortages.
In November, ethanol supplies experienced a significant reduction, primarily driven by a shortage of feedstocks, according to the Grain Ethanol Manufacturers Association (GEMA). The decline in ethanol availability has raised concerns among manufacturers and stakeholders, highlighting challenges that need to be addressed to meet the government’s ethanol blending targets.
Decline in Monthly Supply
GEMA has reported that the average monthly ethanol supply to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) has decreased in November, attributing this drop to delayed sugarcane crushing and slow procurement by the Food Corporation of India (FCI). These delays have affected the timely availability of feedstocks required for ethanol production, directly impacting the supply chain.
Allocation vs. Offer for ESY 2024-25
For the Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2024-25, OMCs have allocated approximately 837 crore litres of ethanol, against the 970 crore litres offered by manufacturers. Despite OMCs having initially invited tenders for the supply of 916 crore litres, the reduction in supply has created a gap in the expected ethanol availability for blending with petrol.
Concerns Over Ethanol Blending Targets
The Indian government has set ambitious targets for ethanol blending in petrol, aiming to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and enhance the use of renewable resources. However, manufacturers have raised concerns about several issues that could hinder the smooth achievement of this goal. GEMA recently presented these challenges to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging for intervention to address the following key points:

The Lithium Dream in Salal: Hopes, Challenges, and Delays.
In February 2023, Salal, a picturesque mountain village in Jammu and Kashmir, became the center of attention after India’s mining ministry announced a groundbreaking discovery: 5.9 million metric tons of lithium. This discovery was hailed as a potential goldmine for India, positioning the country as the holder of the world’s fifth-largest lithium reserve. Lithium, often referred to as ‘white gold’ for its importance in battery production for clean energy, was seen as a major asset for India’s transition to sustainable energy. However, two years later, the reality of extracting this resource has proven more complicated than expected.
Lithium Discovery: A False Dawn?
Sunil Thakur, a 24-year-old engineering graduate turned snack shop worker, like many other villagers, began dreaming of a prosperous future following the announcement. He envisioned selling his land for a duplex home and investing in his family’s snack business. However, despite the initial excitement, the promised mining opportunities have failed to materialize.
India’s government attempted to auction the lithium reserves twice in March 2023, but both efforts were unsuccessful due to a lack of bidders. Several red flags have emerged, which have raised doubts about the feasibility of mining in Salal. Experts claim that the lithium deposits are far less significant than initially reported, with only about 0.02 million tonnes of lithium carbonate present in the ore, a tiny fraction compared to major global reserves.
Challenges of Extracting Lithium
The Salal lithium reserve is located in clay deposits, which makes the mining process technically difficult and commercially unviable. According to PV Rao, a senior geologist in the mineral industry, the geological report provided by the government lacked sufficient details to meet international standards, leading to doubts about the reserve’s true potential. Saurabh Priyadarshi, a former chief geologist, echoed these concerns, emphasizing that the reserve is unlikely to attract investors without further exploration and more comprehensive data.
Local mineral officers confirmed that private companies who tested the samples independently were dissatisfied with both the quantity and quality of the lithium. These issues have contributed to the lack of interest in the auctions and hindered the potential for the reserve to be developed.
Socio-Political and Environmental Concerns
Even if the lithium deposits were of the quality initially hoped for, mining in the region comes with its own set of challenges. Salal is located in the conflict-ridden Kashmir region, near the India-Pakistan border. The area has seen a rise in militant activity in recent years, with local militant groups declaring opposition to any mining operations, labeling them as “colonial exploitation” of Jammu and Kashmir’s resources. The volatile security situation raises concerns about the feasibility of large-scale mining in the area.
Additionally, lithium mining is an environmentally resource-intensive process that can cause significant damage to local ecosystems. The region, which lies along the Chenab River, is part of a water-sharing treaty between India and Pakistan, making any potential water contamination from mining a sensitive issue. The region is also seismically active, adding further complexity to any industrial intervention.
Delays and Uncertainty: The Future of Salal
In response to the mounting challenges, the Indian government has decided to halt the auction process and reconsider the exploration of the reserve. Mining officials have suggested that this could take several months or even years. The delay has left residents like Sunil Thakur caught in a state of uncertainty. His dreams of prosperity have been put on hold, and he remains uncertain whether he should invest in his family business.
For his uncle, Karan Singh, however, the delay has brought a sense of relief. He remembers the pristine beauty of his village before the announcement and is content for the lithium to remain in the ground, preserving the environment and his way of life. At 65 years old, Singh finds it difficult to imagine moving away from his home, and he hopes the lithium will stay buried for the sake of future generations.
Conclusion
The lithium discovery in Salal, once seen as a game-changer for both the region and India’s clean energy ambitions, has become mired in complications. From technical challenges in the mining process to socio-political unrest and environmental concerns, the path to extracting the lithium remains fraught with uncertainty. As the government reevaluates the situation, the future of Salal’s ‘white gold’ is unclear, leaving the village’s residents torn between hope and caution.

SINTEF Develops Low-Cost Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technology.
Researchers from SINTEF, Norway’s leading independent research organisation, have successfully developed a low-cost, energy-efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology designed to sequester post-combustion CO2. The breakthrough, called the Continuous Swing Adsorption Reactor (CSAR), represents a promising alternative to traditional carbon capture methods.
CSAR Technology: A Simpler and Less Energy-Intensive Solution
The CSAR system builds upon previous work by SINTEF researchers and offers a more energy-efficient solution for capturing CO2 compared to existing technologies, such as monoethanolamine (MEA) and swing adsorption reactor clusters (SARC). According to Jan Hendrik Cloete, a research scientist at SINTEF, the new system is particularly advantageous when reasonably priced electricity from renewable sources is available.
How CSAR Technology Works
The CSAR process utilizes two reactors for CO2 capture. The first reactor employs adsorption, where a sorbent binds to the CO2 from flue gases, separating the gas at a low temperature. The heat generated during this process is transferred to the second reactor, where it is used to release the CO2 at a higher temperature.
A heat pump efficiently transfers the generated heat between the reactors, while a vacuum pump aids in releasing the CO2. SINTEF claims that this system significantly reduces energy use by operating on a single electricity source, unlike other traditional CCS methods that require large amounts of energy for thermal regeneration.
Advantages Over Traditional CCS Methods
Traditional chemical absorption processes, the most widely used CCS technology, rely on solvents that absorb CO2 in a separation tower, followed by high-temperature regeneration to release the captured CO2. While effective, this method is energy-intensive due to the significant energy required for the thermal regeneration process.
In contrast, CSAR’s efficient heat transfer system minimizes energy consumption, making it a more cost-effective and sustainable solution for carbon capture, particularly in industries that can benefit from renewable electricity.
Pilot Projects and Future Plans
SINTEF’s CSAR technology has been successfully trialled in partnership with CCS company Caox at the BIR AS waste combustion plant in Bergen, Norway. The plant processes approximately 220,000 tonnes per year of household waste and generates 250,000 tonnes per year of CO2.
After 100 hours of operation, SINTEF demonstrated the ability to scale its lab-based technology to an industrial level. The pilot reactor successfully captured 100 kg/day of CO2. Building on this success, SINTEF and BIR are working on a new pilot plant capable of capturing 3 tonnes per day of CO2.
Additionally, SINTEF is collaborating with a cement factory in Spain to deploy a further pilot project under the EU-funded CAPTUS project.
Implications for the CCS Industry
The development of CSAR technology is a promising step towards making carbon capture more accessible and affordable. The system’s low energy consumption, modularity, and easy integration into existing industrial plants present significant advantages over traditional CCS methods. As renewable energy sources become more prevalent, the CSAR system is expected to play a key role in reducing industrial carbon footprints and meeting global decarbonisation goals.
SINTEF’s partnership with industry leaders like Caox and its ongoing pilot projects in Norway and Spain mark important milestones for scaling up this technology and potentially revolutionising the CCS sector.

New Product Developments and Global Market Expansion
Covestro’s acquisition of DSM’s Resins & Functional Material business in 2021 has strengthened its leadership in coatings and adhesives. Roemer explained that this acquisition enhances Covestro’s capability to offer comprehensive solutions that include not just crosslinkers but also resins and binders. This positions Covestro to offer total solutions for its customers, further enhancing its market share.
Roemer also highlighted Covestro’s investments in renewable energy solutions, including coatings for wind turbine blades and solar panels. Additionally, Covestro is innovating in the print and packaging industry, focusing on recyclability and mono-material systems, which is a growing trend in the global market.
Strategic Focus on New Applications
Roemer discussed the significant growth opportunities in renewable energy and packaging applications. He mentioned how Covestro’s coatings for wind turbine blades help improve energy efficiency, while their solar panel coatings are integral to back-sheet and frame protection. The company is also focusing on developing barrier coating solutions for recyclable packaging, which is a key industry trend.
He also noted that Covestro is focused on researching unmet market needs through its extensive laboratory resources. With a broad technological toolkit in coatings and adhesives, Covestro is well-positioned to drive innovation and deliver solutions across a variety of sectors.
Covestro’s Investment in Trimer Production Facilities
Roemer confirmed that Covestro’s Ankleshwar facility in India is the fourth dedicated Trimer production plant globally. This new facility is designed to cater to growing local demand and has the capacity for future expansion. The investment of over 20 million euros underscores Covestro’s commitment to the Indian market, with Roemer noting that the facility will not only meet local demand but also produce low viscosity Trimer that other global units cannot manufacture.
This investment, coupled with Covestro’s global network, will allow the company to expand its Trimer production capacity significantly, ensuring it remains a key player in the rapidly growing coatings and adhesives sector.
Conclusion
Covestro’s ongoing investment in research, development, and local manufacturing in India reflects the company's commitment to meeting the increasing demand for high-performance coatings and adhesives. With strong growth prospects in India and globally, Covestro’s strategic focus on innovation, renewable energy, and sustainable packaging will continue to drive its leadership in the industry.
