H2 Hype in India: Nation Makes a Splash at World Hydrogen Summit

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.
