India has launched the Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme (GHCI) to regulate the production of 'green' hydrogen, aiming to establish a global export market valued at $70bn. The scheme, unveiled by Union Minister Prahlad Joshi, sets a maximum emissions threshold, certification levels, and requirements for hydrogen producers. It aligns with international standards to ensure transparency and credibility, facilitating access to government incentives and future carbon credit trading. India targets five million metric tonnes of green hydrogen production by 2030, supported by strategic investments and subsidies. However, challenges like high production costs, infrastructure gaps, renewable energy variability, water scarcity issues, and complexity for smaller enterprises could hinder sector scalability. Despite obstacles, India is optimistic about becoming a leading green hydrogen producer, with commitments to sustainability and self-reliance in the green energy transition.
