The Hydrogen Zone was opened shortly after the inaugural ceremony of the flagship energy event and is being hosted by Oil India.
The Hydrogen Zone showcases advanced hydrogen technologies and solutions that are expected to play a key role in India’s energy transition. It brings together innovations related to hydrogen production, storage and utilisation, offering visitors a clear view of how hydrogen is emerging as an important clean fuel across the world.
