This company of Gautam Adani announced the pilot project of green hydrogen blending, it will start from this city.
New Delhi: Adani Total Gas Ltd has started experimental blending of green hydrogen into natural gas sold as fuel for domestic cooking and industry. The joint venture company of industrialist Gautam Adani’s Adani Group and French energy company Total Energies said in a statement that the blending of green hydrogen with gas will be gradually increased to 8 percent. “As part of the project, ATGL will use the latest technologies to blend green hydrogen (GH2) with natural gas for over 4,000 residential and commercial customers in Ahmedabad, Gujarat,” it said.

This project will build the infrastructure in the country to establish India as an energy independent country by the year 2047. This reflects our dedication to construction. This project will make a significant contribution to reducing our carbon emissions.”
