Green hydrogen is a clean fuel produced by using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis. Unlike conventional hydrogen, it generates zero carbon emissions during production, making it an environmentally friendly alternative. Green hydrogen is increasingly viewed as a key solution for decarbonizing industries and transitioning to sustainable energy systems.
A green hydrogen manufacturing plant is a facility designed to produce hydrogen using renewable energy sources, primarily through the process of water electrolysis. In these plants, electricity from wind, solar, or hydropower is used to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen without emitting greenhouse gases. The hydrogen produced is stored and transported for use in various sectors, including transportation and power generation. Such plants play a crucial role in the transition to a low-carbon economy by providing a sustainable, zero-emission alternative to fossil fuel-based hydrogen production methods.
Industries are shifting toward green hydrogen to reduce carbon emissions, comply with stricter environmental regulations, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels, driving demand for large-scale production. In April 2024, Akna Energy partnered with Splitwaters to establish a 20 MW green hydrogen plant in the US. The facility, expected to be operational by late 2025, will produce over 3 million kg green hydrogen annually. This initiative strengthens green hydrogen infrastructure and accelerates industrial decarbonization. Increasing investments in large-scale hydrogen production are shaping the clean energy sector.
India is increasing green hydrogen production to reduce energy imports, support industrial sustainability, and align with national policies promoting clean energy adoption across key sectors like refining and manufacturing. In July 2024, Tecnimont and NEXTCHEM launched GAIL’s first green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh. The 10 MW electrolysis unit produces 4.3 Tons of green hydrogen per day, supporting the National Green Hydrogen Mission. This project promotes large-scale hydrogen adoption in heavy industries. With supportive policies and technological advancements, green hydrogen is emerging as a key solution for sustainable industrial growth.
Expanding Renewable Energy Integration
The green hydrogen manufacturing market is growing as large-scale projects increasingly adopt solar and wind energy, ensuring sustainable production, reducing emissions, and supporting global decarbonization and industrial clean energy transitions. For example, NEOM Green Hydrogen Company in Saudi Arabia is developing the world’s largest green hydrogen plant, powered by 2.2 GW of solar and wind energy. The facility set for production by December 2026, aims to strengthen the global hydrogen supply while promoting large-scale decarbonization and industrial adoption.
In the same way, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Chevron are developing a green hydrogen plant in Utah, USA, through ACES Delta, scheduled to begin operations in mid-2025, the facility will use renewable energy for hydrogen production and storage, accelerating clean energy adoption across the U.S. As more manufacturers integrate renewable energy sources into hydrogen production, the industry is expanding, reinforcing the global energy transition and industrial sustainability.
Rising Industrial Decarbonization Initiatives
Industries are increasingly adopting green hydrogen to lower carbon emissions, aligning with global sustainability targets and regulatory shifts toward cleaner energy solutions. For example, India inaugurated its first green hydrogen plant in the stainless steel sector at Jindal Stainless, Hisar, in March 2024. This off-grid facility, powered by rooftop and floating solar, reduces 2,700 metric tons of CO₂ annually, setting a precedent for green steel production and industrial sustainability.
Concurrent with this, in May 2024, GAIL commissioned its first green hydrogen plant in Vijaipur, Madhya Pradesh, featuring a 10 MW PEM electrolyzer powered by renewable sources. Producing 4.3 TPD of 99.999% pure hydrogen, this facility strengthens India’s hydrogen infrastructure, enabling clean energy adoption across industries. Green hydrogen is becoming a key solution for industries to reduce carbon emissions by replacing fossil fuels, thereby supporting cleaner production processes, and aligning with global decarbonization goals.
The global green hydrogen industry is driven by several leading companies that possess advanced technological capabilities, large-scale production infrastructure, and diversified application portfolios across energy, transportation, industrial processing, and power generation sectors. Key players in the green hydrogen space include:
These companies are actively engaged in the development and deployment of electrolyzer technologies, renewable energy integration, hydrogen storage, and transportation solutions. Many operate large-scale facilities and pilot projects across Europe, North America, and Asia, contributing significantly to the decarbonization of key sectors and supporting global energy transition goals
Detailed Process Flow:
The manufacturing process is a multi-step operation that involves several unit operations, material handling, and quality checks. Below are the main stages involved in the green hydrogen manufacturing process flow:
Setting up a green hydrogen manufacturing facility involves addressing a range of technological, environmental, and commercial factors to ensure operational efficiency, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. The following considerations are central to the successful establishment and operation of such a plant:
The establishment and operation of a green hydrogen manufacturing facility involve multiple cost components that must be strategically planned to ensure financial viability and long-term success. Key economic factors include:
Capital Investment (CapEx): For a green hydrogen manufacturing plant, capital investment is heavily concentrated in the procurement of specialized machinery and equipment required for PEM electrolysis. Machinery costs account for majority of the total capital expenditure. These include electrolyzers, purification units, gas analyzers, leak detectors, and DI water systems, all essential for high-purity hydrogen production. Additional capital costs are allocated to land acquisition, site preparation, and civil infrastructure, which encompass foundation construction, utility setup, and facility buildings. This foundational investment is crucial to ensure operational safety, regulatory compliance, and seamless integration of renewable energy sources.
Operating Expenditure (OpEx): In the initial year of operations, the green hydrogen plant incurs significant operating costs primarily due to the high energy demand and water consumption required for electrolysis. Raw material costs—namely electricity and deionized water—constitute more than half of total OpEx. Other recurring expenses include salaries and wages, equipment depreciation, utility bills, transportation, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and packaging. By the fifth year, operational costs are projected to rise owing to inflationary pressures, energy price volatility, and market fluctuations in water and utility costs. Additionally, external variables such as supply chain disruptions, shifting demand for hydrogen in industrial and energy sectors, and global economic dynamics are expected to further influence operating costs over time.
