Rs 1.5 Lakh Hydrogen Stove: India’s Green Kitchen Revolution
A plug‑and‑play hydrogen stove in India creates green hydrogen on demand from water and electricity, delivering zero‑emission, quiet cooking for commercial kitchens.
Amid LPG shortages, an Indian firm has unveiled a revolutionary hydrogen cooking stove. This plug‑and‑play unit uses water and electricity to generate green hydrogen on‑demand, offering a zero‑emission, quiet cooking solution. Priced at Rs 1,50,000 per unit, it is currently targeted for commercial and institutional use, marking a significant step toward alternative energy in kitchens.
The move comes as the LPG crisis puts pressure on domestic supplies, with authorities prioritising households. In this context, the new stove presents an option for institutions to cut their reliance on traditional fuels and explore cleaner cooking technologies.
How it works is straightforward: the system uses electricity to power on‑site electrolysis, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. The generated hydrogen powers the burner, allowing cooks to operate without storing large quantities of fuel. The result is a quiet, emission‑free cooking experience that could reshape energy choices in hotels, hospitals, schools, and other large kitchens.
While the potential is clear, industry watchers note challenges ahead. The up‑front cost at Rs 1,50,000 may be a hurdle for some institutions, and widespread adoption will hinge on reliable electricity supply, water access, safety regulations, and maintenance needs. If pilots prove successful, the stove could help diversify energy sources for commercial kitchens and accelerate India’s transition toward greener cooking solutions.
