GAIL (India) Limited and Silicon Valley-based Bloom Energy have join forces to transform India’s energy future through the use of innovative technology. This will mean deploying revolutionary natural gas-based fuel cell technology to generate electricity.
The natural gas is already provided by GAIL’s subsidiary at Bengaluru for energising a multi-MW Bloom Energy project for a large global technology company at the Technology Park in Bangalore. Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan said, “The signing of the MoU between Bloom Energy and GAIL is a significant step towards realising the Prime Minister’s vision of using technology and innovation for fast tracking India’s progress.
The biggest beneficiary of this MoU will be urban India because it will significantly decrease pollution caused by backup power generation.”
