Kerala's ambitious plans for green hydrogen production and export have received a significant boost with funding approval for the development of two green hydrogen valleys in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram. The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has approved the project, which aims to catalyze action and investment in clean energy research and development. The initiative falls under the Mission Innovation, a global effort to make clean energy affordable for all. The proposal includes setting up hydrogen valleys to promote the use of green hydrogen in multiple sectors, starting with the transport industry. The project also aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission Scheme, emphasizing the importance of sustainable energy solutions. By establishing hydrogen valleys, Kerala aims to enhance research, innovation, and capacity building in the field of clean energy. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate the viability of clean hydrogen solutions on a large scale for widespread adoption.
