India's government has introduced a new green hydrogen certification scheme to boost transparency and credibility in the production of green hydrogen. The scheme, initiated by Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi, aims to create a framework that certifies green hydrogen production, ensuring transparency, traceability, and market credibility. The scheme applies to companies that have bid for government incentives for green hydrogen production, but excludes exporters who have not availed these incentives. It also sets a 'materiality threshold' of 1% for emission sources to meet the green hydrogen standards. Renewable energy supply for green hydrogen production can be sourced from renewable energy projects and transmitted through dedicated or common transmission lines. This initiative is significant in promoting sustainable energy practices and aligning India's energy sector with green hydrogen standards.
