Andhra Pradesh's Vision: Green Hydrogen Valley to Transform Amaravati by 2030
Key Ideas
  • Andhra Pradesh aims to establish the Green Hydrogen Valley to become India's green hydrogen capital by 2030, focusing on production, R&D, and capacity building.
  • Key targets include manufacturing capacity of 2 GW by 2027, cost reduction to Rs 160-170 per Kg by 2029, and creation of transmission infrastructure for 25 GW RE power.
  • Initiatives involve local production of electrolyser components, skilling programs, promoting start-ups, allocating funds for innovation, and collaboration with research institutions.
  • The state's abundant solar and wind energy potential, along with pumped hydro storage capacity, positions it well for large-scale green hydrogen development and export opportunities.
The Andhra Pradesh government has unveiled its ambitious plan for the Green Hydrogen Valley in Amaravati, aiming to transform the region into India's green hydrogen capital by 2030. The initiative, launched with a declaration by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, is set to establish a robust ecosystem for green hydrogen production and technology advancement in collaboration with industry and academia. Key objectives of the Green Hydrogen Valley include setting up significant manufacturing and production capacities, cost reduction targets, and infrastructure development to support renewable energy power evacuation. The recent Green Hydrogen Summit facilitated discussions leading to the finalization of the declaration, focusing on various aspects of green hydrogen technology and adoption. The plan outlines specific targets such as local production of electrolyser components, skilling initiatives, support for start-ups, and investments in research and development facilities. It emphasizes the importance of reducing import dependency by encouraging domestic production and fostering collaborations with premier institutes. Moreover, the initiative envisions a skilling ecosystem that includes specialized research hubs, green hydrogen research centers, and knowledge exchange platforms to drive innovation and capacity building. The state plans to collaborate with universities and institutions to offer training programs and certifications in green hydrogen technologies. To support the growth of the green hydrogen sector, the government will allocate funds for start-ups, establish R&D centers, and provide advanced testing facilities. Andhra Pradesh's favorable renewable energy landscape, coupled with its strategic geographical position, creates opportunities for large-scale green hydrogen development and export potential to Southeast Asian markets. The establishment of the Green Hydrogen Valley signifies a significant step towards sustainable energy transition and economic growth in Andhra Pradesh. By leveraging its renewable energy resources and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration, the state aims to lead the way in green hydrogen technology and contribute to a cleaner and greener future.
