India Today
IIT Bombay and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) signed an agreement to jointly pursue research and development work in the green hydrogen value chain.
IIT Bombay and Larsen & Toubro (L&T), an Indian multinational engaged in EPC projects and hi-tech manufacturing and services, signed an agreement to jointly pursue research and development work in the green hydrogen value chain.
Both the institutions have joined hands to contribute towards the development of the green hydrogen industry in India and to develop next-generation technology in this emerging field.
L&T’s engineering expertise, product scale-up and commercialization know-how, and IIT Bombay’s cutting-edge research in hydrogen technologies will help this partnership accomplish its goal.
Commenting on the occasion, SN Subrahmanyan, CEO and MD, L&Tsaid, “L&T has always been in the forefront to drive technological advancements and indigenisation in India across sectors. We are positioning to drive the green hydrogen economy in India together with our partners.”
“Our partners and clients are also looking forward to leveraging our capability to reduce costs and industrialise green hydrogen,” he said.
“This collaboration with IIT Bombay and its world-class technologists will support the cause of developing indigenous globally competitive technologies and nudge India towards Aatmanirbhar in green hydrogen technology,” the CEO added.
Technology plays a central role in the growth of an emerging industry like green hydrogen. Research and development in areas to improve energy efficiency, reliability, and reducing equipment cost is crucial to improve affordability and hence, scaled adoption of green hydrogen in India is the need of the hour.
