The Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has issued a significant tender to procure 724,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, aiming to decarbonize India's fertilizer sector. This tender under the SIGHT Scheme marks a move towards using renewable energy to produce green hydrogen and ammonia, reducing carbon emissions. The government's incentives under the National Green Hydrogen Mission and a Payment Security Mechanism provide financial support and confidence for developers. This initiative is expected to cut India's dependency on imported natural gas, reduce global price volatility, and create new job opportunities in clean energy sectors. By stimulating both supply and demand for hydrogen, the tender accelerates investments in green hydrogen infrastructure and aligns with India's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. SECI's role as a catalyst in India's clean energy transition is crucial for building a self-reliant and sustainable economy.
