India's Refineries to Bolster Conventional Hydrogen through 2027

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--India's refiners plan to add green hydrogen projects in the coming years, but conventionally produced hydrogen still accounts for more than 530,000 cubic feet per day of capacity additions planned across India over the next five years. The oil-refining process relies heavily on hydrotreating and hydrocracking to reduce sulfur from finished products, making it one of the largest consumers of hydrogen.

Industrial Info is tracking more than US$850 million worth of traditional hydrogen-production projects across India with construction starts planned before the end of 2027.

Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) (New Delhi, India), along with its subsidiary Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL) (Chennai, India), plans to add hydrogen-generation units with a total capacity of 22,000 cubic feet per day at four facilities over the next four years. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) (Mumbai) has 31,000 cubic feet per day of total capacity planned.

Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL) (Mangaluru, India) and Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) (Assam, India) plan 90,000 and 8,800 cubic feet per day hydrogen generation units, respectively.
