India's Ambitious National Green Hydrogen Mission: Leading the Global Clean Energy Transition
Key Ideas
  • India's National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, requiring 125 GW of renewable energy support.
  • The phased approach includes creating demand and supply infrastructure in sectors like refineries initially and later expanding to steel, mobility, and shipping.
  • Abundant solar and wind resources, along with government incentives and partnerships with countries like Germany and Australia, support India's green hydrogen ambitions.
  • The mission targets job creation, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 50 million tonnes annually, and aims to establish India as a major global supplier of green hydrogen.
India has launched its National Green Hydrogen Mission to position the country as a global hub for green hydrogen production, use, and export. The mission, starting in 2023, aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, requiring substantial renewable energy support. The initiative includes financial incentives for domestic manufacturing of electrolyzers and green hydrogen production, with a total planned investment exceeding ₹19,744 crore. The phased approach involves creating demand and infrastructure in sectors like refineries initially and expanding to steel, mobility, and shipping by 2030. Pilot projects are already underway to test green hydrogen viability. India's advantages such as abundant solar and wind resources, a strong national electricity grid, and supportive government policies facilitate green hydrogen production. The mission also emphasizes infrastructure development, regulatory standards, and green hydrogen hubs at key ports. International collaborations with countries like Germany, Australia, and the UAE aim to share knowledge, technologies, and investments. The mission targets job creation, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and positioning India as a major global green hydrogen supplier, highlighting the country's commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
