India's Green Hydrogen Revolution: Pioneering a Sustainable Future
Key Ideas
  • India aims for net-zero emissions by 2070, with green hydrogen playing a crucial role in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors.
  • Government initiatives set a goal of 5 MMT green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, attracting key players to invest.
  • Challenges like high production costs and infrastructure limitations are being addressed through various demand-side strategies and catalytic measures.
  • The report outlines immediate actions to boost green hydrogen adoption, including blending, niche sector substitution, public procurement, and export potential.
India has set ambitious goals to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070, with green hydrogen identified as a key solution for decarbonizing challenging sectors. The country's ample access to renewable energy resources provides a natural advantage in establishing a globally competitive green hydrogen ecosystem. The government has outlined its National Green Hydrogen Mission and aims to reach a production capacity of 5 million metric tons by 2030. While supply-side investments have been significant, demand-side momentum lags due to high production costs and limited infrastructure. To address these challenges, the report suggests immediate strategies such as blending green hydrogen in high-volume sectors, encouraging substitution in niche segments, promoting public procurement for green steel, and exploring export opportunities. By implementing these strategies and catalytic measures like infrastructure development and financial mechanisms, India can accelerate the scalability and market viability of green hydrogen. The overall sentiment towards green hydrogen in India is positive, with a focus on turning the country's green hydrogen vision into a commercially successful reality.
