HP Green R&D Centre (HPGRDC), a pioneering research and development facility of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), announced a landmark partnership with Engineers India Limited (EIL) for the commercialization of its indigenously developed Hydrogen Pressure Swing Adsorption (HP-PSA) Technology.

This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone in India's journey towards self-reliance in cutting-edge technology, aligning with the Government of India's vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

Under the agreement, HPCL will serve as the 'Technology Licensor,' while EIL will act as the exclusive 'Technology & Engineering Partner' for engineering, marketing, and commercialization of the HP-PSA Technology in India.

The HP-PSA Technology, developed by HPGRDC, has successfully demonstrated its capabilities through a commercial-scale greenfield 6-bed H2 PSA unit at Visakh Refinery, operating seamlessly for over nine years. This breakthrough technology positions HPCL as India's first and the world's third Hydrogen PSA Technology Licensor.

"We are happy to partner with EIL, whose expertise in executing major oil & gas projects will be instrumental in widespread adoption of our HP-PSA Technology," said Shri Vipul Kumar Maheshwari, Executive Director-R&D, HPCL. "This collaboration will contribute significantly to India's Technological self-reliance and reinforce our commitment to innovation and continual improvement."

This partnership is poised to indigenise the hydrogen technology landscape in India, offering comprehensive solutions to the industry and bolstering the nation's energy independence.
