Thermax Limited, an energy and environment solutions company, has entered into a strategic partnership with Norway-based HydrogenPro ASA for the supply, installation, commissioning, and after-sales service of alkaline electrolyser systems in India. Under the arrangement, HydrogenPro will provide technology licensing, stacks, future upgrades, and technical support, while Thermax will integrate the systems into ongoing green hydrogen projects in the country.
As part of the collaboration, Thermax will engineer and manufacture key systems and balance-of-plant components for the electrolysers. The companies will jointly develop advanced solutions for evolving market requirements, beginning with the establishment of a test station for short stacks at Thermax’s Pune facility.
“Our association with HydrogenPro marks an important step in expanding our green hydrogen portfolio. This collaboration enables us to immediately offer market-ready Alkaline technology-based solutions for deployment across industries in India. By combining HydrogenPro’s proven technology with Thermax’s engineering and project execution expertise, we will deliver integrated, localised, state-of-the-art Alkaline Electrolyser solutions with complete lifecycle support,” said Ashish Bhandari, Managing Director and CEO of Thermax.
“India, with its strong development in renewable energy is one of the fastest growing hydrogen markets. The partnership with Thermax provides us with an important entry into the country and a solid market foothold. Our goal is to enable the decarbonisation of industry through the use of green hydrogen, particularly in sectors with few or no renewable alternatives to current operational practices,” said Jarle Dragvik, CEO of HydrogenPro.
Through the partnership, Thermax will provide end-to-end integrated green hydrogen solutions, including the supply of electrolysers, turnkey EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) project execution, and value-added services for optimal plant performance.
