In India, The Hindu Business Line reported that Aranayak Fuel and Power will break ground on its biomass-based green hydrogen plant in Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh on March 3. The facility, which aims to begin production of green hydrogen on August 15, will be India’s first commercial-scale biomass-based green hydrogen project, according to the report. Aranayak Fuel and Power, a company set up by a group of Uttar Pradesh businessmen, will consume 30 TPD of biomass to produce hydrogen. Biezel Green Energy is the technology provider. This latter company has developed a ‘thermally accelerated anerobic digestor’ (TAD), which is a reactor that produces hydrogen, methane and bio-coal from biomass.
