India's $21bn Green Hydrogen Hub in Andhra Pradesh: A Step Towards Sustainable Energy
Key Ideas
  • NTPC Green Energy Ltd is developing a $21bn green hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, targeting the production of 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen per year.
  • The facility will have a capacity of 20GW and is expected to produce 1500 tonnes per day of green hydrogen and 7500 tpd of green hydrogen derivatives for various industries.
  • India's focus on green hydrogen aims to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries like steel, cement, and refining, aligning with global efforts to reduce emissions in these sectors.
  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India's commitment to becoming a global hub for green hydrogen, emphasizing the importance of innovation, infrastructure, industry, and investment in this sector.
NTPC Green Energy Ltd, the clean energy arm of NTPC Ltd, is leading the development of a $21bn green hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh, India, as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. This initiative aims to produce at least five million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually. With a capacity of 20GW, the hub will produce 1500 tonnes per day of green hydrogen and 7500 tpd of green hydrogen derivatives like methanol, urea, and sustainable aviation fuel. The project signifies India's commitment to green energy, particularly in decarbonizing industries with significant emissions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the project, highlighting the country's ambition to become a global green hydrogen hub. India's focus on green hydrogen is crucial for reducing emissions in sectors like steel and cement, which have a significant environmental impact. The National Green Hydrogen Mission aligns with India's climate goals, including achieving Net Zero emissions by 2070. India's progress in clean energy transition is evident with around 44.5% of its total capacity coming from non-fossil fuel electricity as of September 2024. Initiatives like the multi-purpose green hydrogen pilot project at Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station further demonstrate India's commitment to sustainable energy. This pilot project produces green hydrogen for various purposes, including electricity generation and industrial applications.
