Deendayal Port Authority (DPA) Kandla has partnered with GH2 Solar Ltd to study the feasibility of exporting liquid green hydrogen. The collaboration focuses on creating a strategic roadmap for the necessary production, storage, and liquefaction infrastructure at the port. This initiative supports India's National Green Hydrogen Mission by integrating solar and wind power into the hydrogen value chain. The study will evaluate technical and regulatory requirements to establish Kandla as a hub for low-carbon maritime energy exports.

DPA Kandla is looking into exporting liquid green hydrogen with GH2 Solar. They are starting with a feasibility study on storage and liquefaction. Worth watching to see if they actually name the target markets.

Liquefaction is the expensive part here. I want to see the energy requirements for the cooling process. Do they have the local grid capacity to support both the electrolyzers and the liquefaction plant without massive curtailment?

Beyond the grid, the specialized port handling is a huge cost. Building new cryogenic berths is not cheap. I wonder if they plan to retrofit existing terminals or build from scratch.

The MoU mentions international standards, but the real hurdle is certification. Until there is a clear global accounting standard for what counts as green hydrogen, these export roadmaps are just theoretical.
