India's Green Hydrogen Revolution: Leading the Global Charge Towards Sustainability
Key Ideas
  • India aims to become a global hub for green hydrogen production, focusing on initiatives such as the National Green Hydrogen Mission with a target of 5 million tonnes of annual production by 2030.
  • The Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme aims to ensure transparency and market credibility while exempting Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia plants from mandatory environmental clearances to expedite project implementation.
  • Collaborations with countries like Japan, Australia, and the UAE for technology transfer and investment signify India's commitment to accelerating green hydrogen production and reducing reliance on fossil fuel imports.
  • Hydrogen-based fuel offers a stable energy source from renewables, contributing to India's energy independence and generating additional income for farmers through waste biomass production.
The World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, witnessed India's proactive stance towards green hydrogen production. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis powered by renewable sources, holds immense potential in sectors like fuel cell electric vehicles, industrial applications, and transportation. India's National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to establish 5 million tonnes of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030, with Phase I already underway. The Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme ensures market credibility and transparency, facilitated by exemptions from mandatory environmental clearances for green hydrogen and green ammonia plants. The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has earmarked Kandla, Paradip, and Tuticorin ports as Green Hydrogen hubs. International collaborations with Japan, Australia, and the UAE focus on technology transfer and investment. Hydrogen's significance in ensuring energy independence and creating additional income through waste biomass production highlights its potential for sustainable development. India's strategic initiatives underscore a positive sentiment towards accelerating green hydrogen production and fostering environmental sustainability.
