The client, a leader in solar energy development and an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts player in renewable energy in India, recently signed the first long-term green hydrogen supply contract (20-year contract) with one of the leading stainless steel companies in India.

The contract calls for the construction of a green hydrogen plant in the northern state of Haryana with a target commissioning date of Q3 2023.

The client has contracted Assystem STUP for infrastructure design, procurement, construction supervision, and commissioning. If delivered as per client’s expectations, then Assystem STUP will be mandated with four additional projects for green hydrogen production.

The plant will produce green hydrogen, which is expected to reduce the client’s carbon emissions by around 2,700 metric tonnes per annum.
