Promoting Green Hydrogen in India: The GHCI Certification Scheme
Key Ideas
  • The GHCI scheme in India aims to promote the production and use of Green Hydrogen generated from renewable energy sources.
  • Certification process ensures the hydrogen is genuinely green, produced using renewable energy, and meets emission standards.
  • Transparent monitoring and reporting of emissions throughout production to build investor confidence and enable carbon credit claims.
  • Aligns with India's goals of energy security, reducing fossil fuel dependence, and fulfilling international climate commitments.
The Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme in India (GHCI) is set to boost the production and utilization of Green Hydrogen derived from renewable sources. The scheme's primary objective is to develop a market in India that guarantees the green nature of hydrogen production and aids in carbon emission reduction. Producers are required to undergo a stringent certification process to confirm that their hydrogen is made using renewable energy, with emission intensity meeting set standards. The verification will be conducted by a BEE Accredited Carbon Verification (ACV) Agency. Comprehensive standards and guidelines are outlined to govern monitoring, reporting, verification, and emission calculation methodology for certification purposes. Transparency in emissions during production will enhance investor confidence, and producers can also claim carbon credits through this certification. By establishing a certification framework, the scheme aims to create a transparent and reliable market for green hydrogen, promoting its adoption in various industries. Moreover, the initiative aligns with India's broader energy security objectives, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and fulfilling international climate commitments.
