India's Green Hydrogen Revolution: Scaling Up Production and Cementing Global Leadership
Key Ideas
  • India allocates 862,000 tonnes per annum to 19 firms and 3,000 MW annual electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 companies, signaling a significant step towards its clean energy objectives.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, attract $100 billion in investments, and generate over 600,000 jobs while averting 50 million metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
  • India's strategy involves deploying pilot projects in sectors like steel, mobility, and shipping, easing regulatory frameworks, exempting green hydrogen and ammonia plants from environmental clearance, and introducing a 'Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme'.
  • Designation of major ports as green hydrogen hubs, the launch of individual state policies, and commitment to establish as a global leader in green hydrogen exports by 2030 demonstrate India's dedication to clean energy and global influence.
India is making significant strides in its green hydrogen mission, as evidenced by the allocation of production capacity and electrolyser manufacturing capacity to numerous firms. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy highlighted India's evolving role as a global player in green hydrogen and renewable energy during the World Hydrogen Summit. With a strong focus on clean energy, India has already installed substantial renewable energy capacity, positioning itself as one of the fastest-growing clean energy markets globally. The country's green hydrogen aspirations are intertwined with broader climate objectives, aiming for energy independence by 2047 and net-zero emissions by 2070. To support these targets, the government launched the National Green Hydrogen Mission with a substantial initial investment. Pilot projects in key sectors and regulatory easing are part of India's strategy, along with initiatives like the 'Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme'. By designating major ports as green hydrogen hubs and introducing state policies, India is setting the stage to become a key global supplier of green hydrogen. The country's commitment extends towards establishing itself as a global leader in green hydrogen exports by 2030, reflecting its dedication to clean energy and sustainable development.
