Boosting India's Green Hydrogen Infrastructure: Funding Guidelines Unveiled
Key Ideas
  • Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India issues guidelines for funding under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to enhance testing facilities and infrastructure.
  • The scheme emphasizes improving the quality and testing ecosystem in the Green Hydrogen sector to meet specified standards and address existing gaps.
  • With a budget of Rs. 200 Crores until 2025-26, the initiative aims to develop new testing facilities, upgrade existing ones, and ensure the sustainability of Green Hydrogen production.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission, with a total outlay of Rs. 19,744 Crores by 2029-30, aims to achieve self-reliance in clean energy, reduce carbon footprint, and establish India as a global leader in Green Hydrogen technology.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India has recently released guidelines for funding under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to support the development of testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional backing in the Green Hydrogen sector. The key aspects of these guidelines focus on enhancing the quality and testing ecosystem to ensure compliance with specified standards and guidelines in the GH2 industry. This initiative aims to bridge the gaps in existing testing facilities for components, technologies, and processes along the GH2 value chain. The scheme, with a budgetary outlay of Rs. 200 Crores until the fiscal year 2025-26, aims to create new testing facilities and upgrade existing ones to facilitate safe and efficient operations within the Green Hydrogen domain. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) has been designated as the implementing agency for this scheme. The primary goals of the initiative include the development of robust quality and performance testing facilities, ensuring the quality, sustainability, and safety of GH2 production and trade. Moreover, the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched on January 4, 2023, with a total outlay of Rs. 19,744 Crores by the fiscal year 2029-30, seeks to achieve self-reliance in clean energy, provide global inspiration for the Clean Energy Transition, significantly reduce the carbon footprint, diminish reliance on fossil fuel imports, and position India as a leader in Green Hydrogen technology and market. This mission aligns with the objectives of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) and emphasizes decarbonization and energy independence through the adoption of Green Hydrogen technology.
