This project explores how Renewable Energy–Round-the-Clock (RE-RTC) models can be leveraged for green hydrogen production in India’s refinery and fertiliser industries. It examines the use case of the RE-RTC product proposed by SECI, evaluating its potential to supply reliable, low-carbon power for continuous hydrogen generation.
The study assesses the viability of using green hydrogen in key industrial sectors, analysing the techno-economic and operational implications of integrating RE-RTC supply with hydrogen electrolysis. It also investigates regulatory mechanisms such as power banking, and their role in enabling effective RE-RTC deployment. Through detailed systems-level modelling, the project evaluates how regulatory frameworks, industrial load profiles, and demand dynamics interact—providing strategic insights into designing feasible, cost-effective pathways for industrial decarbonisation using renewable energy and storage solutions.
(This cross-sectoral project was undertaken in collaboration with the Strategic Initiatives Group.)
