India-UK Workshop on Green Hydrogen Standardization: A Step Towards Sustainable Energy Future
Key Ideas
- The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and the British Standards Institution (BSI) partnered with the UK Government to host a workshop in New Delhi on green hydrogen standardization.
- The event aimed to strengthen cooperation between India and the UK in developing regulations and standards for green hydrogen production, supporting the goal of a net zero future.
- Discussions emphasized the importance of safe and globally harmonized regulations, adoption of fast-track standards, and enhancing certification frameworks for a competitive green hydrogen economy.
- The workshop brought together policymakers, technical experts, and industry leaders from both countries to foster innovation and sustainability in the green hydrogen sector.
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), in collaboration with the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the UK Government's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), organized a two-day India-UK Standards Partnership Workshop on Green Hydrogen in New Delhi. The workshop focused on strengthening cooperation between India and the United Kingdom in hydrogen standardization, specifically in green hydrogen production and regulations. The event, part of the UK Government’s Standards Partnership Programme, aimed to promote international standards in India to accelerate growth, attract investment, and enhance trade. Discussions highlighted the need for safe, scalable, and globally harmonized regulations, codes, and standards, along with the adoption of fast-track Publicly Available Specification (PAS) standards and global hydrogen certification.
Key speakers at the workshop, such as Abbey Dorian from BSI, emphasized the importance of fostering international cooperation for clean energy transitions and building a sustainable hydrogen market. The workshop aligned with BIS’s efforts under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to identify standard gaps, explore new development areas, and engage with technical experts from both countries. Insights from global best practices are expected to enhance India’s certification, testing, and standardization frameworks, contributing to a sustainable and competitive green hydrogen economy.
The inaugural ceremony was attended by officials from BIS and the British High Commission, marking a shared commitment to innovation and sustainability in the green hydrogen sector. The participation of policymakers, technical experts, and industry leaders from India and the UK further demonstrated the collaborative effort towards achieving a net zero future through green hydrogen. The event served as a milestone in advancing knowledge exchange, standardization, and innovation for a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
