Maharashtra clears 937 hectares for Gadchiroli steel expansion Steel stock surges 29% in just two days Steel output rises 14% to 9.25 MT Infrastructure boom fuels India’s steel consumption
India plans to manufacture 5 million tonnes (MT) of pure hydrogen annually by 2030, with a predicted demand of 25 MT by 2050 for transportation, steel, and ammonia manufacturing. Experts from the sector gathered in Delhi for the Hydrogen Technology Expo to discuss how the nation might expand green hydrogen uses and modernise production.
Nornickel, a prominent provider of base and precious metals for green technologies, introduced experts in India to Palladium-Brd advances, suggesting that their goods may enhance the productivity of green hydrogen production. Palladium's rare qualities allow it to break hydrogen molecules into atoms, transit them through the metal, and reassemble them into molecules, yielding ultra-pure hydrogen. Experiments conducted in Russia revealed a four-fold increase in throughput for a palladium tubular membrane in hydrogen production and a three-fold increase in activity for an electrolyser catalyst containing 30% palladium.
According to Anna Karzhavina, Head of Commercialization of New Products at Nornickel, "Palladium-brd catalysts show efficiency gains at every stage of the hydrogen energy chain, from electrolysis to transport to fuel cells. Hydrogen is purified using palladium membranes for use in solar energy, artificial diamond manufacturing, and microelectronics."
Nornickel's collaboration with Indian industries aims to develop palladium-based prototypes that will increase productivity and green hydrogen consumption in India, thereby contributing to the country's energy transformation goals.
