L&T’s Green Hydrogen Plant at the A. M. Naik Heavy Engineering Complex, Hazira, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to test alkaline water electrolysers up to 1MW capacity.
The plant is powered by a 990 kW rooftop solar array (DC peak), supported by a 500 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to ensure reliable operation of critical loads.
The high pressure alkaline electrolyser stacks can produce up to 50 tonnes per annum of high-purity hydrogen (99.99%), which is blended with natural gas and used in L&T’s fabrication shops at Hazira. In addition, high-purity oxygen, generated as a valuable by-product, can be utilized in cutting applications.
To ensure safe and efficient operations, the plant is equipped with comprehensive active and passive safety systems and is managed through a modern command-and-control centre with remote monitoring capabilities.
An integrated data analytics platform developed by L&T provides real-time insights into electrolyser and plant performance. By continuously capturing operating data and applying predictive analytics, the system optimizes schedules based on solar generation, hydrogen storage levels, and downstream consumption requirements.
Our Green Energy Design & Engineering Centre has the capabilities and expertise to provide end-to-end engineering solutions from concept to detailed engineering for Green Hydrogen Generation, its Derivatives, Fuel cell, etc, for various industries like Oil Refining, Fertilisers, Petrochemicals, Iron & Steel, maritime shipping, Datacentre, etc.
The Engineering Centre carries out Concept study, Feasibility study, Proposal Engineering, Pre-FEED, FEED (Front End Engineering) and Detailed Engineering for Green Energy Projects in compliance with applicable Indian and International Standards, Codes and Regulatory Requirements. The team seamlessly works with various electrolyser OEMs and process Technology Licensors to meet the needs of customers in Green Energy Transition, Reduction of Carbon Footprint and Sustainability Endeavor.
With expertise in various Engineering Disciplines like Process, Loss Prevention, Mechanical, Civil & Structural, Electrical, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, L&T provides seamless and integrated Green Energy Solutions.
The engineering team possess the technical knowledge to select RE sites, electrolyser technology and electrolyser OEM that is best suited for a project. The team is capable to select optimum plant configuration i.e. size of RE plant, electrolyser capacity and H2 storage using an in-house developed software “H2 Optima”.
We deploy state-of-the-art Digital Tools and Software – including AutoCAD, Plant 3D, ETAP, Caesar II, STAAD Pro, Tekla, Matlab, PV Elite, HTRI, Ansys CFD/FEA - and more than a hundred Design Engineers to offer:
In addition, the Design & Engineering centre can tap into the capabilities available within the L&T umbrella; namely Onshore engineering for Ammonia, Methanol, etc and L&T Sargent & Lundy for other electrical & Balance of plant engineering related activities.
Electrolyser Manufacturing Plant: In alignment with our unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, we have recently announced the successful commissioning of our first electrolyser from the Hazira facility at Surat in India. This achievement marks a crucial milestone as we advance towards establishing a state-of-the-art cutting-edge technologically enabled factory, with plans for commercial-scale production set to commence soon.
L&T’s hi-tech manufacturing capabilities & facilities will be leveraged for manufacture of Electrolysers for Green Hydrogen Generation. This facility augmentation to Giga factory incorporates systems, processes, CNC machines, and manufacturing capabilities that are the best in its class.
Facility: L&T Energy – Green, Electrolyser Manufacturing Facility at the A. M. Naik Heavy Engineering Complex at Hazira is set up to achieve the manufacturing excellence we are known for.
The manufacturing shops are equipped with a combination of various imported and indigenous machines, and the plant layout is designed for optimum movement of material. The Facility has capabilities that include fabrication, machining, manufacturing, assembly and testing, and incorporates:
Located on the banks of the Tapti River (300 km north of Mumbai and 21 km off Surat), Hazira is India’s largest industrial hub. The fast-growing town enjoys excellent surface connectivity through NH-6 and NH-8, and has a multi-cargo port.
A new coastal highway connecting Hazira with Navsari and a project to expand NH- 6 from four to six lanes is underway.
