Green Hydrogen Breakthrough: 5 Powerful Reasons Why F2N and Loyal Equipments’ Game-Changing Partnership Will Transform India’s Energy Future

Italian electrolyzer startup F2N Green Hydrogen has partnered with India’s Loyal Equipments to accelerate green hydrogen adoption in India’s industrial sectors, including refining, steel, and mobility. The collaboration, outlined in a new MoU, will see F2N supply its alkaline electrolyzer stacks, with potential for local manufacturing if initial testing succeeds. India’s ambitious target of 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030 makes it a key market, especially as European demand slows.

F2N’s scalable 500kW–2MW systems could help reduce production costs, a critical factor for India’s energy transition. Loyal’s Alkesh Patel highlights the partnership’s role in cutting costs, while F2N’s CEO Francesco Massari sees it as a step toward balancing supply and demand. With India’s renewable energy advantage and strong policy push, this alliance could attract more global players. Success hinges on pilot testing, but if scaled, it may position India as a green hydrogen leader. The move signals a strategic shift for European tech firms eyeing growth in emerging markets.  

Green Hydrogen Breakthrough: 5 Powerful Reasons Why F2N and Loyal Equipments’ Game-Changing Partnership Will Transform India’s Energy Future

India’s ambitious green hydrogen plans are attracting global players, and the latest collaboration between Italy’s F2N Green Hydrogen and India’s Loyal Equipments could be a game-changer for the country’s clean energy transition.  

A Strategic Partnership for India’s Green Hydrogen Future 

Under a newly signed non-binding MoU, F2N will supply its alkaline electrolyser stacks to Loyal Equipments for green hydrogen projects across refining, steelmaking, mobility, and renewable energy storage.  

This partnership comes at a crucial time—India aims to produce 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, positioning itself as a global leader in the sector. With Europe’s demand lagging, F2N’s move highlights India’s growing appeal for hydrogen technology manufacturers seeking faster adoption and cost-efficient production.  

Why This Collaboration Matters 

• Local Manufacturing Potential – If initial testing of F2N’s Italian-made electrolysers succeeds, Loyal could establish an Indian production facility, reducing costs and boosting supply chain efficiency.  

• Cost Reduction – Alkesh Patel, Loyal’s Managing Director, believes this partnership will help lower green hydrogen production costs, a critical factor for India’s energy transition.  

• Bridging the Supply-Demand Gap – F2N’s CEO, Dr. Francesco Massari, emphasized the need for more partnerships to align green hydrogen supply with India’s rapidly growing demand. 

F2N’s Technology: Built for Scale 

Launched in 2022, F2N specializes in alkaline electrolysers designed for medium to large-scale hydrogen plants, with systems ranging from 500 kW to 2 MW. Their entry into India could accelerate the deployment of green hydrogen in heavy industries like steel and refining—key sectors where hydrogen can replace fossil fuels.  

India’s Green Hydrogen Opportunity 

India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission has set aggressive targets, backed by incentives for domestic manufacturing and export potential. With cheaper renewable energy costs and a strong industrial base, the country is primed to become a global hydrogen hub.  

For F2N and Loyal, this partnership is just the beginning. If successful, it could pave the way for more international players to enter India’s green hydrogen market, driving innovation and affordability in the race to decarbonize.  

What’s Next?  

• Testing Phase – Initial electrolyser units from F2N’s Italian facility will undergo trials in India.  

• Local Production Plans – If viable, Loyal may set up an Indian manufacturing plant.  

• Sector Expansion – Watch for more collaborations as India’s hydrogen economy gains momentum. 

With the right policies and partnerships, India could soon lead the charge in making green hydrogen a mainstream energy solution.
