India's Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme, a key component of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, sets stringent standards for hydrogen production facilities to limit non-biogenic greenhouse gas emissions to 2 kg of CO₂ equivalent per kg of hydrogen. The scheme aims to establish credibility and environmental integrity, attracting investments and supporting India's carbon neutrality objectives. The certification process includes concept certificates for design approval and facility-level certificates for operational compliance. Renewable electricity usage, detailed record-keeping, and GHG emission quantification are mandatory, with emphasis on transparency and accountability. The certification timeline enforces compliance with set standards, promoting sustainable hydrogen production. Accredited carbon verification agencies ensure audit accuracy, support compliance, and enable access to carbon credits under India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme. ISO 19870:2023 serves as a benchmark for evaluating lifecycle GHG emissions, fostering policy formulation and global comparability. By embracing renewable energy and robust monitoring mechanisms, India's Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme paves the way for sustainable hydrogen production and reinforces the country's commitment to climate leadership.
