The Government of Uttar Pradesh in India has launched its first green hydrogen production facility in the city of Gorakhpur.

Developed by Torrent Power and Torrent Gas, the plant is only the second of its kind in India, designed to produce green hydrogen for blending with compressed and piped natural gas supplies. 

The project, which is slated to produce 72 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, is backed by the state’s Green Hydrogen Policy 2024 and represents the country’s largest hydrogen–natural gas blending initiative within a city gas distribution network.

Speaking at the launch, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath described green hydrogen as “the energy of the future” and highlighted the project’s potential to reduce carbon emissions, protect biodiversity, and improve public health. He added that the state’s abundant water resources could offer a competitive edge in scaling hydrogen production.
