Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced that India is pursuing the goal of energy independence within 25 years.
A key part of reaching this goal includes the launch of the National Hydrogen Mission.
Prime Minister Modi has selected the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology [CSIR-IICT] to facilitate reaching Indias goals for incorporating clean hydrogen usage.

“Clean-Seas brought us a complete and unified vision that seamlessly fits within our directive and the new initiative set forth by our Honorable PM. Rarely do we see a company with such clear technological, scientific and commercial goals as that of Clean-Seas, which can seamlessly integrate with CSIR-IICT’s existing assets to fast track achievement of core goals immediately and try to reach the That is a lofty goal of 1kg of Hydrogen costing 1 dollar within 1 decade which IICT and Clean-Seas shall work together in achieving”

In addition to liquid fuel, pyrolysis can create a large volume of synthetic gas (syngas). That syngas can then be split apart to remove the hydrogen, leaving behind methane, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide to power the pyrolysis process itself. Clean-Seas' facility in Hyderabad, India, has been developing ways to scale up production of hydrogen (the Company's branded AquaH®) and other clean-burning fuels that can be used to generate clean energy.
This R&D facility provides a development platform to produce hydrogen from mixed plastic waste as well as ultra-low sulphur fuels for sale to the oil and gas industry.

Clean-Seas India (CSI) worked with its organizers of the Hyderabad Marathon to collect its waste plastic and to process it at CSI's waste plastic-to-energy conversion plant located in Hyderabad. CSI's support of the Hyderabad Marathon builds upon its inaugural annual, "Plastic Free Hyderabad" (PFH) which coincides with World Ocean Day and serves as a joint effort with various NGOs and schools throughout the City to free it of waste plastic by converting it into clean energy. Both PFH and the Marathon serve to increase awareness about the waste plastic crisis - and the cost effective next-generation technologies now available to solve it.
Clean Vision CEO Dan Bates, himself a fitness enthusiast, said, "We strongly support the physical and mental health benefits of fun and friendly competitions such as this marathon and its 5k and 10k events. It is also important to us to contribute to helping to make Hyderabad a cleaner city by converting its waste plastic into clean energy and valuable commodities at our local pilot pyrolysis plant. It is our intent to support local clean-up and plastic pollution awareness programs wherever we establish a PCN conversion facility." Hyderabad is located in south central India and is landlocked but still is a victim and contributor to the global waste plastic problem. Plastic abounds on roadsides and free-standing dumps and when the rains come, this plastic flows into larger bodies of water and eventually the ocean.
"While the many plastic "clean-ups" commonly organized at cities and beaches around the world are a great start and show grassroots support, the elephant in the room remains: ‘After being picked up, where does that waste plastic go?' Through this and similar initiatives, Clean-Seas answers that question directly, visibly, with our state-of-the-art technology," said Mr. Venkat Kumar Tangirala, President of CSI.
