California-based Ways2H has announced a partnership with Pune-based h2e Power Systems to establish a manufacturing base in India for Ways2H's innovative thermochemical technology. This technology converts waste into carbon-negative renewable hydrogen while permanently sequestering CO2. The groundbreaking plant, set to be deployed near Pune, Maharashtra, is already in the preliminary stages of development.

The Framework Agreement for this collaboration was signed during the Net Zero Summit organized by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in New Delhi on July 6th, 2023.

Jean-Louis Kindler, CEO of Ways2H, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting India's leadership in combating climate change. He emphasized that waste-to-hydrogen solutions offer a global answer to the waste management crisis and a swift pathway to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Siddharth R Mayur, Founder & Managing Director of h2e Power, stated that this partnership aligns with their commitment to position India as a global hub for Green Hydrogen technologies. The collaboration enables them to provide a comprehensive range of Green Hydrogen Technologies, covering Electrolysers to Waste, under a single umbrella.

Currently, h2e and Ways2H are finalizing a Detailed Project Report for the Waste-to-Hydrogen plant near Pune. This plant aims to process up to 10 tons of waste daily, producing nearly 1 ton of fuel-cell grade carbon-negative hydrogen. The partnership envisions integrating h2e's Solid Oxide Fuel Cell system with the plant to create an integrated waste and energy generation solution.

The ultimate goal of this partnership is to establish a manufacturing facility for Ways2H's core technology in India and deploy systems across the country, each with a processing capacity of up to 100 tons/day. This initiative is expected to create numerous green jobs and establish decentralized waste-to-hydrogen hubs.
