Kerala has secured significant funding of Rs 34.84 crore for a green hydrogen pilot project in the transport sector. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is supporting this initiative, which includes the deployment of fuel cell-based and hydrogen internal combustion engine-based trucks, as well as hydrogen refueling units. The total project cost is estimated at Rs 40 crore, with the majority funded through viability gap funding (VGF) under a Central government scheme. The project aims to subsidize green hydrogen fuel expenses for the first two years, promoting sustainable operations. Key stakeholders include Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Ashok Leyland for truck supply, and Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) and Greenstat India for refueling infrastructure development. Kerala's ambitious goal is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and transition to 100% renewable energy by 2040, with green hydrogen playing a pivotal role in this transition. The state is also considering a Green Hydrogen Policy that is expected to be announced soon, further emphasizing its commitment to sustainable energy practices. Additionally, other green hydrogen projects in Kerala, such as the establishment of a plant at Cochin International Airport and a proposed substantial investment by ReNew in a green hydrogen project, highlight the state's dedication to advancing environmental sustainability and decarbonisation efforts. Overall, Kerala's efforts underscore the importance of green hydrogen in India's decarbonisation plans and its contribution to promoting a cleaner and more sustainable future.
