Under the MoU, the companies will explore using Elcogen’s proprietary solid oxide stacks and modules to recover and utilize waste heat
Elcogen, a European leader in solid oxide technology for green hydrogen and emission-free power, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with JNK India Limited to explore strategic collaboration opportunities.
This news comes on the heels of Anil Srikar Pavuluri’s recent appointment as Elcogen’s Business Development Director for India and APAC. Following a productive showing at India Energy Week 2026 in Goa—where Pavuluri and Mikael Jansen, Global Director of Business Development, met with major industry stakeholders—the company solidified its entry into the region. The highlight of the event was an MoU with JNK India Limited, marking Elcogen’s first partnership with an Indian EPC provider and a significant milestone in its expansion into the Indian energy market.
Under the MoU, the companies will explore using Elcogen’s proprietary solid oxide stacks and modules to recover and utilize waste heat. Focusing on hard-to-abate sectors like green ammonia, urea, and e-fuels, the partnership will also evaluate hybrid systems—combining alkaline and solid oxide technologies—to reduce the cost of green hydrogen production.
“The global energy industry is being transformed by the growth of renewable energy, decarbonisation initiatives, and digital technologies. Green Hydrogen and low-carbon fuels are shaping the design and execution of future energy projects,’ said Mr. Dipak Bharuka, Whole Time Director and CEO of JNK India Ltd, adding, “As an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction collaborator, JNK India Limited helps customers adopt the most suitable solutions for their specific requirements. Our collaboration with Elcogen is strategic step towards strengthening the green energy ecosystem and supporting our customers achieve their energy transition goals. Through innovation and collaboration, JNK India Limited will continue to support the global transition towards a sustainable and low-carbon energy future.”
The MoU supports Elcogen’s efforts to establish a presence in the Indian market, working with JNK India Limited, a company with strong engineering, EPC, and industrial project delivery capabilities in energy and process industries. Through this collaboration, both companies aim to identify opportunities to develop efficient and scalable solid oxide-based solutions that can contribute to India’s clean energy transition.
“We are pleased to start this dialogue with JNK India Limited and explore how we can work together,” said Elcogen CEO and Founder, Enn Õunpuu. “India’s energy sector is moving quickly, and partnerships like this allow us to better understand local needs while sharing our experience in solid oxide technology. This MoU is an important first step, and we’re looking forward to seeing how the collaboration develops.”
