Mumbai: thyssenkrupp nucera is expanding its role in the global hydrogen economy with a new Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for a large-scale project in India. thyssenkrupp nucera, a globally leading provider of high-efficiency electrolysis technologies, has signed the FEED contract with Indian company Juno Joule. The planned electrolysis plant will have an installed capacity of 260 megawatts.
Juno Joule and SELECT Energy GmbH are developing a green ammonia plant in India. The planned complex will include integrated facilities to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia, with RFNBO compliant ammonia primarily intended for export to Europe. The project will be designed to produce green ammonia, which can be used across a range of industries. thyssenkrupp nucera will use this FEED study to design an integration concept of Alkaline Water Electrolysis into the plant. Thanks to the region’s access to renewable energy resources, the project will utilize renewable power, sourced from a combination of solar, wind, and hydropower.
“This is the first Indian green hydrogen project in our portfolio. Securing this contract marks an important milestone in our mission to accelerate India’s transition to a green hydrogen economy,” said Dr. Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera. “The collaboration with Juno Joule reflects thyssenkrupp nucera’s strong strategic drive to advance green hydrogen in India. At the same time, India’s exceptional renewable potential provides the ideal conditions for such a project.”
Following the FEED phase, thyssenkrupp nucera will continue developing the project in close collaboration with Juno Joule, with the aim of concluding an Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication (EPF) contract in the next project phase. The execution of the project remains subject to a Final Investment Decision (FID), anticipated in FY 26/27.
“The selection of thyssenkrupp nucera for the FEED of the 260 MW green hydrogen facility in Phase 1 marks a key milestone in the technical development of the project. thyssenkrupp nucera’s extensive experience in engineering large-scale alkaline electrolysis systems will ensure the project is developed to the highest international standards of efficiency, reliability, and bankability,” said Nagasharath Rayapati, CEO, Juno Joule.
