The Agency for New and Renewable Energy Research and Technology (ANERT) in Kerala, India, has issued a call for expressions of interest for demonstration projects in green hydrogen, smart energy, and industrial decarbonization. The invitation aims to drive innovation and solutions in the areas of clean energy, with a specific focus on green hydrogen technologies, smart energy systems, and industrial decarbonization. Bidders are required to submit their proposals by June 18, 2025, with ANERT planning to communicate the selection by June 20. ANERT's initiative seeks to promote projects that address key thematic interests such as hydrogen production from renewable sources, hydrogen storage, smart energy systems, AI-based grid optimization, low-carbon fuels, and integration of renewable energy in industrial sectors. The selected projects will have the opportunity to apply for up to 50% external funding based on the project size, level of external support sought, and co-funding commitments expected from ANERT and the project developers. To be eligible, bidders must be Indian entities capable of implementing late-stage demonstration projects related to clean energy, green hydrogen, or industrial decarbonization. The proposals submitted must meet specific criteria including operational history, technology readiness level, implementation pathway, and co-funding commitments. ANERT will prioritize projects demonstrating readiness for deployment within a reasonable timeframe and with clear environmental and social impact assessments. The call for bids aligns with India's focus on transitioning towards clean energy and reducing carbon emissions. It emphasizes the importance of fostering innovation, partnerships, and sustainable solutions to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen technologies and drive industrial decarbonization. By offering funding support and encouraging collaboration, ANERT's initiative aims to contribute to Kerala and India's clean energy goals, promoting the development and deployment of environmentally friendly solutions.
