Elcogen, a European company specialising in efficient green hydrogen production and emission-free electricity, has announced its expansion into India and the wider Asia Pacific region. The company has appointed Anil Srikar Pavuluri as Business Development Director for the region.
India and the Asia Pacific are entering a period of rapid energy growth and transition. Rising industrial activity and growing energy demand are creating an urgent need for cleaner and more efficient energy solutions. According to the International Energy Agency World Energy Outlook 2025, India’s energy mix is gradually shifting towards renewables. Solar and wind energy, which currently make up around 2 percent of the mix, are expected to reach nearly 20 percent by 2050 under current policies. Energy demand is rising fastest in industry and transport. Across the Asia Pacific, total final energy demand is projected to grow from around 450 exajoules in 2024 to over 500 exajoules by 2035, driven by industrialisation and improved living standards.
Elcogen focuses on high-efficiency solid oxide fuel cell technology to generate clean electricity and produce green hydrogen. The company sees strong opportunities in the region as governments and industries look for scalable solutions to reduce emissions, increase energy efficiency and lower dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Elcogen’s solid oxide components produce hydrogen at 33 to 40 kilowatt hours per kilogram and achieve 75 percent fuel cell electrical efficiency. When waste heat is included, overall efficiency rises to more than 90 percent.
“Hard-to-abate sectors are energy-intensive and heat-rich, creating ideal conditions for SOEC integration to reduce the cost of hydrogen production. Simultaneously, the rapid growth of data centres and remote microgrids, where hydrogen supply can be paired with on-site power generation, makes SOFCs a strong hydrogen utilisation pathway,” says Anil Srikar Pavuluri.
He added, “With more than two decades of experience in solid oxide technology, high-performance solid oxide cells, stacks, and modules, and an operational manufacturing capacity of up to 360 megawatts, I am confident that Elcogen is strategically positioned to enable high-efficiency hydrogen production, clean power generation, and system flexibility all key pillars of the global energy transition.”
