At the World Hydrogen Summit 2025 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) showcased India’s efforts to become a global hub for Green Hydrogen (GH2) production. About Hydrogen Basic Info: Lightest, most abundant element Colorless, odorless, highly flammable gas Hydrogen-Based Fuels Matter for India as: Key to energy independence Reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels Can be produced from waste biomass—benefits farmers and rural economy Enhances decarbonization goals in transport and industry Green Hydrogen (GH2) Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water (H₂O) into hydrogen (H₂) and oxygen (O₂) using electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or through biomass gasification. Applications: Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) Industrial uses (e.g., fertilizer, refineries) Transport sectors (road, rail, shipping) Other Types of Hydrogen (based on production source): Grey Hydrogen: From natural gas; emits CO₂ Blue Hydrogen: From natural gas + carbon capture Turquoise Hydrogen: From methane pyrolysis; produces solid carbon Pink Hydrogen: From electrolysis using nuclear power India’s Initiatives to Promote Green Hydrogen 1. National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) Launched to make India a global leader in green hydrogen. Target: 5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of green hydrogen production by 2030 Phases: Phase I (2022–23 to 2025–26): Pilot and scale-up Phase II (2026–27 to 2029–30): Commercialization and exports 2. Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme (GHCI) Ensures certification and verification of green hydrogen production Accredited by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) through Accredited Carbon Verification (ACV) Agencies 3. Environmental Clearance Exemptions Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia projects exempt from mandatory Environmental Clearance, easing regulatory hurdles and fast-tracking project timelines 4. Green Hydrogen Hubs at Major Ports Kandla, Paradip, Tuticorin selected by the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) to be developed into integrated green hydrogen hubs with infrastructure and export potential 5. International Collaboration Bilateral partnerships for technology, investment, and know-how with: Japan, Australia, United Arab Emirates (UAE)
