plant<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a facility that <\/span><b>produces hydrogen using electrolysis<\/b> <b>powered by renewable energy sources<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as solar or wind, and is <\/span><b>not connected to the main electrical grid.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means the plant relies entirely on its own renewable energy generation for the hydrogen production process.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ANIL plant is <\/span><b>fully powered by solar energy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>works with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), which <\/span><b>enables it to operate completely off-grid.<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It features a <\/span><b>fully automated and controlled electrolyser system,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which is designed to <\/span><b>respond to real-time renewable energy inputs.<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This provision, also <\/span><b>known as a closed-loop system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, aids in flexibility of operations, particularly in <\/span><b>addressing the shifting nature of solar power<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, while ensuring efficiency, safety, and performance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initiative is<\/span><b> aligned with the National Green Hydrogen Mission
