India has taken significant steps towards promoting green hydrogen with the launch of the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India (GHCI) and securing agreements to supply 4.12 lakh tonnes of green hydrogen derivatives to Japan and Singapore. The GHCI, initiated by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and supported by the National Green Hydrogen Mission, is aimed at verifying that hydrogen production is exclusively from renewable sources. The scheme includes features such as project-level certification, annual third-party verification, and measurement in kg CO₂ equivalent per kg H₂ to ensure credibility and market transparency. GHCI's objectives align with India's commitment to produce 5 MMT of green hydrogen by 2030 and integrate with the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme to facilitate carbon trading. The certification framework focuses on certifying truly green hydrogen based on emissions intensity, promoting traceability and transparency, and ensuring market credibility. It covers electrolysis and biomass conversion initially, with the flexibility to include new pathways upon approval. The GHCI aims to strengthen India's global hydrogen exports by providing clear market standards and attracting investments in the green energy sector. By mandating compliance for domestic producers and exempting export-only units, the scheme aims to reduce India's dependency on fossil fuels and enhance its leadership in green energy initiatives. The Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme of India is set to play a crucial role in promoting clean hydrogen production and paving the way for a more sustainable energy future.
