Himachal CM Lays Foundation for North India’s First Green Hydrogen Plant

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu laid the foundation stone for North India’s first 1-MW green hydrogen plant in Dabhota, Solan district. The plant will use renewable energy to produce hydrogen through electrolysis, utilizing an alkaline potassium hydroxide solution as the electrolyte. With a daily production capacity of 423 kg, the facility aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It will require 13 litres of water per kg of hydrogen, sourced from underground reserves through tube wells.
