Green hydrogen is the hottest topic in the energy sector, and India is diving right in!
Here's how they're making waves at the World Hydrogen Summit 2024:
Shining a Light on Green Hydrogen Progress:
India Debuts at the Summit: For the first time ever, India has a dedicated pavilion at the prestigious World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Bigwigs Gather for Green Talk: The summit attracts over 15,000 global delegates, making it a prime platform for India to showcase its green hydrogen ambitions.
India's Green Hydrogen Goals:
5 Million Metric Tonnes by 2030: India has set a clear target – to achieve a massive green hydrogen production capacity of 5 million metric tonnes by the end of the decade!
Hitting the Ground Running: The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) reports awarding tenders for a significant portion of this target, already securing 412,000 tonnes of green hydrogen production capacity.
Electrolyzer Manufacturing Gets a Boost: India is also investing in electrolyzer manufacturing with tenders awarded for a capacity of 1,500 megawatts. Electrolyzers are key to producing green hydrogen.
Building a Green Hydrogen Ecosystem:
Science & Tech Steps Up: India's Department of Science and Technology is actively promoting green hydrogen innovation by fostering industry clusters.
MNRE Takes Charge: The MNRE has issued guidelines for incorporating green hydrogen into steel production, transportation, and mobility sectors.
One-Stop Green Hydrogen Info Hub: To streamline information access, the MNRE launched a dedicated green hydrogen mission portal – https://nghm.mnre.gov.in/
India's participation in the World Hydrogen Summit highlights its commitment to green hydrogen development. With ambitious targets and a multi-pronged approach, India is well-positioned to become a major player in the clean energy revolution.
