Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) issued a call for bids to engage a consultant to assess the techno-commercial feasibility of green hydrogen and carbon capture projects across the Damodar Valley region, covering West Bengal and Jharkhand. The assignment spans four months and includes a series of key deliverables. The consultant will begin with a detailed work plan, followed by a comprehensive domestic and global market and ecosystem assessment.
Assessing Hydrogen Demand and Industrial Applications
A critical part of the study involves analyzing India’s hydrogen demand-supply dynamics and grey hydrogen consumption across major industrial clusters, including steel, fertilizers, and transport sectors. This analysis will inform the potential scale and design of green hydrogen projects in the region.
Technical Scoping and Project Design
The consultant will conduct technical scoping to define project concepts, including:
*Production capacity requirements
*Renewable energy integration
*Water usage planning
*Grid connectivity
*Technology selection for electrolysers and balance-of-plant systems
This phase aims to outline feasible project configurations aligned with local infrastructure and resource availability.
Workshops and Decarbonization Pathways
Structured workshops will identify key challenges, best practices, and pathways to achieve decarbonization. As reported by projectstoday.com, the final deliverable will focus on CO₂ capture and valorization through green hydrogen, exploring sustainable and commercially viable solutions. Interested parties must submit their bids by 31 January 2026.
