Adani group has started blending green hydrogen in natural gas that is supplied to households for cooking purposes in parts of Ahmedabad, with a view to cut emissions and meet net-zero targets.
Adani Total Gas Ltd, the group's city gas joint venture with French energy giant TotalEnergies, has started blending 2.2-2.3 per cent of green hydrogen in piped natural gas supplies in Shantigram in Ahmedabad, the firm said in a post on LinkedIn.
Hydrogen produced through clean pathways is injected into natural gas pipelines, and the resulting blends are used to generate heat and power with lower emissions than using natural gas alone.
The firm has started producing green hydrogen by using renewable energy sources like wind or solar power, to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis. This hydrogen is blended in natural gas that is currently piped to households for cooking purposes and industries.

At a time when the entire world recognises that China is a non-transparent and opaque economy, some people, possibly responsible for its growing influence in the India industry, are choosing to continue to praise or defend the China story, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.
Slamming the previous Congress-led government, he said it is a matter of "shame" that India allowed substandard and opaquely-priced Chinese goods to flood the Indian markets and kill Indian manufacturing.
"As regards China, it is very sad that some people, possibly responsible for the growing influence of China in the India industry, are choosing to continue to praise or defend the China story, whereas the whole world today recognises that China is a non-transparent and opaque economy," Goyal told Indian journalists at a news conference here.
He was responding to a question on recent remarks by Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi during his US trip last month, alleging th

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Sunday countered Prime Minister Narendra Modi's accusation that the MVA government stalled the Mumbai Metro 3 line work, saying they were not against development but wanted to save the Aarey forest.
Raut also hit back at the PM for claiming that the Congress, a partner in the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), wants to contest polls from the money it gets by pushing the youth towards drugs. PM Modi should also talk about drug busts in Gujarat, he said.
During his visit to Maharashtra on Saturday, Modi said the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government only knew to stall work. The Mumbai Metro 3 line work was stopped due to ego and taxpayers' money was wasted as the cost of the project escalated by Rs 14,000 crore," he said
The MVA, which comprises the Congress, Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP), also put hurdles in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train and Atal Setu projects and stopped water supply and irrigation schemes in the state, Modi said.
