India Launches Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme to Ensure Credibility and Transparency
Key Ideas
  • The Indian government has introduced a green hydrogen certification scheme to enhance credibility in production.
  • Renewable energy minister Pralhad Joshi spearheaded the initiative to create a certification framework for green hydrogen.
  • The scheme initially targets companies receiving government incentives for green hydrogen production, excluding non-incentivized exporters.
  • A 1% materiality threshold for emission sources is set to ensure adherence to green hydrogen standards.
India has launched a green hydrogen certification scheme to improve transparency and credibility in hydrogen production. The scheme was introduced by Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi to set a standard for certifying green hydrogen production. The goal is to ensure transparency, traceability, and market credibility in the sector. Initially focused on companies benefiting from government incentives for green hydrogen production, the scheme does not include exporters who have not availed these incentives. The scheme also sets a 1% materiality threshold for emission sources to maintain adherence to green hydrogen standards. Renewable energy sources for green hydrogen production can be derived from renewable energy projects and transmitted through dedicated or common transmission lines. This move by the Indian government aims to promote the growth of green hydrogen and contribute to a more sustainable energy future.
