Manufacturing of Green Hydrogen Electrolysers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why\u2019s There a Need Now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Hydrogen Mission\u2019s goal is to increase the emission of clean hydrogen from India, thus requiring the electrolyser devices. This, of course, is a huge step towards a hydrogen fuel-friendly ecosystem and also a great opportunity for focusing on energy-efficient emission-trimmed India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Business Case for You: Export Manufacturing of Electrolysers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a clear opportunity for a local domestic supply chain to manufacture these parts, as self-contained parts would greatly benefit smaller to mid-sized industrial clusters for export purposes to Bangladesh, and Middle East, and many African nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Business Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provide stack systems on a turnkey basis, offer maintenance agreements, or provide training sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NPCS Value-Add<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DPR document creation, including machinery specifications, raw materials (membranes and electrodes), vendor list creation, costing, business modeling, and profit-making forecasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"related-renewable-energy-in-northeast-india-top-business-ideas-in-solar-hydro-amp-green-hydrogen\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Renewable_Energy_in_North-East_India_Top_Business_Ideas_in_Solar_Hydro_Green_Hydrogen\"><\/span>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/niir.org\/blog\/renewable-energy\/\">Renewable Energy in North-East India: Top Business Ideas in Solar, Hydro &amp; Green Hydrogen<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-biodegradable-packaging-from-agricultural-waste\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Biodegradable_Packaging_from_Agricultural_Waste\"><\/span>2. Biodegradable Packaging from Agricultural Waste<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to global bans on single-use plastics, there is a rapidly increasing demand for biodegradable alternatives. In India, there is abundant agro-residue like sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, and rice husk, which serve as sustainable raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Feasibility Hook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manufacturing process is as follows: collection, washing, and pulping. Subsequently, using pulp moulding machines, you can mould and shape a variety of plates and bowl products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Import-Export Insight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importation of this type of packaging from Southeast Asia and Europe is increasing. There are opportunities for Indian entrepreneurs to satisfy local needs (F&amp;B businesses, meal kit service providers) and simultaneously serve the export markets (European, Gulf, and North American regions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Business Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Custom branded plates, trays, or biodegradable boxes can be designed for cloud kitchens, food aggregators, and eco-conscious exporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NPCS Value-Add<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create process flow diagrams, capacity planning (monthly tonnes), machinery for moulding and drying, raw-material suppliers, costing analysis, and break-even forecasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 id=\"view-our-books-for-more-brief-information\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"View_our_Books_for_more_brief_information\"><\/span>View our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niir.org\/books\/category\">Books<\/a> for more brief information <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-recycling-and-refurbishing-electric-vehicle-batteries\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Recycling_and_Refurbishing_Electric_Vehicle_Batteries\"><\/span>3.

There is a growing demand for sustainable, economical methods for battery recycling and second-life applications in the market due to the battery lifecycle ending in 3-5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Business Model<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Recovery and Recycling:<\/strong> Cobalt, nickel, and lithium are recovered and recycled for future use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Refurbishing:<\/strong> Batteries that are no longer in use can be converted into solar storage batteries or backup uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Import-Export Insight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India has a competitive advantage in e-waste exports and imports as there is a lack of value-added processing domestically. Establishing recycling plants can transform liabilities into assets. Additionally, India has a competitive advantage in exporting refined metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Business Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recycling can be integrated near electric vehicle (EV) hubs or with companies offering solar storage backup systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>NPCS Value-Add<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create comprehensive reports that analyze processes (crushing, leaching, electrowinning, and electro-refining), hazardous waste rule compliance, machinery, CAPEX\/OPEX, and profitability models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"related-the-rise-of-electric-vehicles-government-policies-fuelling-the-change\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_The_Rise_of_Electric_Vehicles_Government_Policies_Fuelling_the_Change\"><\/span>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneurindia.co\/blogs\/the-rise-of-electric-vehicles-government-policies-fuelling-the-change\/\">The Rise of Electric Vehicles: Government Policies Fuelling the Change<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-modular-microit-plants-for-rural-areas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Modular_Micro-IT_Plants_for_Rural_Areas\"><\/span>4.

Micro-data centers powered by solar or hydro can close the data gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Feasibility Hook<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manufacturing Process: Containerized units equipped with uninterruptible power supply (UPS), cooling systems, solar chargers, and data servers are prefabricated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Import-Export Insight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies predominantly import modular data centers, but local design and assembly offer a significant advantage.

India offers a wealth of herbal and plant resources. Value addition through herbal extraction is significant with the right techniques, such as steam distillation and CO\u2082 extraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Manufacturing Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cultivation or contract farming followed by extraction, purification, and packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Import-Export Insight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many essential oils and herbal extracts are imported.
