India's Green Hydrogen Revolution: Paving the Way for Energy Independence
Key Ideas
  • Union Minister Puri highlights the role of green hydrogen in India's energy self-reliance, aiming to reduce the heavy energy import bill of $150 billion annually.
  • India has made significant strides in green hydrogen development, allocating production and electrolyser manufacturing capacities, with pilot projects in key sectors.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission targets ambitious goals by 2030, including 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen production annually and attracting $100 billion in investments.
  • The launch of the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme adds credibility to the initiative, setting standards for green hydrogen production and supporting India's path towards a cleaner energy future.
India is making significant progress towards energy self-reliance, with green hydrogen taking center stage in the country's sustainable future. Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, emphasized the need to reduce India's hefty energy import bill of $150 billion per year and highlighted the potential of a global drop in green hydrogen prices to revolutionize clean energy in the country. The government's initiatives include allocating production and electrolyser manufacturing capacities, launching pilot projects in various sectors, and setting ambitious targets under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, such as producing 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030 and attracting significant investments. The recent introduction of the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme by Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, further enhances transparency and credibility in green hydrogen production. With strong policy support, industrial engagement, and international cooperation, India is well on its way to achieving a cleaner, more secure energy future.
