India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission: Progress, Opportunities & How We Can Help
India is making bold strides toward a sustainable, energy-secure future with its ambitious National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM). Launched in January 2023, this mission aims to position India as a global hub for the production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives. This initiative is a cornerstone of India’s commitment to achieving energy independence by 2047 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2070. I
🌿 Mission Overview: Vision and Goals
The NGHM envisions producing 5 million metric tons (MMT) of green hydrogen annually by 2030, supported by 60–100 GW of electrolyzer capacity and 125 GW of renewable energy dedicated to hydrogen production. This initiative is expected to attract investments exceeding ₹8 lakh crore, create over 600,000 jobs, reduce fossil fuel imports by ₹1 lakh crore, and abate 50 MMT of CO₂ emissions annually.⚙️ Progress So Far
India has made significant advancements under the NGHM:
- Production Capacity: Awarded contracts for 412,000 tons per annum of green hydrogen production.
- Electrolyzer Manufacturing: Approved 3 GW of annual electrolyzer manufacturing capacity.
- Pilot Projects: Initiated seven pilot projects across sectors like transportation, shipping, steel, and energy storage.
- Standards and Safety: Published 88 standards to ensure safety and scalability in the green hydrogen sector.
🌍 Opportunities Across Sectors
The NGHM opens up vast opportunities across various sectors:
- Industrial Decarbonization: Green hydrogen can replace fossil fuels in industries such as steel, cement, and chemicals.
- Transportation: Development of hydrogen-powered vehicles and fueling infrastructure.
- Energy Storage: Utilization of green hydrogen for grid-scale energy storage solutions.
- Export Potential: Positioning India as a major exporter of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
🏭 Industry Initiatives
Several Indian conglomerates are investing heavily in green hydrogen:
- Reliance Industries: Developing the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, focusing on integrated renewable energy manufacturing, including green hydrogen.
- Adani Group: Investing $70 billion in renewable energy projects, aiming to produce the world’s cheapest green hydrogen.
- BPCL and Sembcorp: Formed a joint venture to develop green hydrogen and renewable energy projects across India.
🌐 International Collaboration
India is actively collaborating with international partners to advance its green hydrogen agenda:
- Netherlands: Organizing innovation missions to India’s hydrogen hubs to strengthen research and innovation collaboration.
- Germany and Egypt: Engaging in discussions for joint ventures and technology sharing in green hydrogen production.
