(Dortmund / Germany) – Thyssenkrupp Nucera AG, a provider of electrolysis technologies, has been awarded a contract for a front-end engineering and design study (FEED) for a 260-megawatt green hydrogen project in India. The company will develop a concept for integrating alkaline water electrolysis into a project by the Indian company Juno Joule Green Energy Pvt Ltd.

The planned complex comprises integrated facilities for the production of green hydrogen using solar, wind, and hydropower, and subsequently green ammonia, in accordance with the EU RFNBO (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) directive. The renewable fuels of non-biological origin are then primarily intended for export to Europe.
"This is the first Indian green hydrogen project in our portfolio," says Werner Ponikwar, CEO of Thyssenkrupp Nucera. The country's exceptional potential for renewable energies offers "ideal conditions" for this.
Following the FEED phase, Thyssenkrupp Nucera will further develop the project in collaboration with Juno Joule, with the goal of concluding an Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication (EPF) contract in the next phase. The Final Investment Decision (FID) is expected in fiscal year 26/27.

In February, Thyssenkrupp Nucera entered into a partnership with the federally owned Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to develop the markets along the value chain for green hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) in India (we reportedThe German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is providing support for this project through the "International Hydrogen Ramp-Up" (H2Uppp) program. GIZ is responsible for implementation, while Thyssenkrupp Nucera is contributing its technological expertise in the field of hydrogen.
