The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India has launched a comprehensive program with a budget of ₹2 billion to drive innovation in green hydrogen production and utilization until FY 2025-26. This initiative, in alignment with the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), aims to explore sustainable pathways for hydrogen generation and usage across diverse sectors. The program primarily focuses on decentralized hydrogen production utilizing advanced methods such as floating solar platforms, biomass conversion, and wastewater treatment processes. The objective is to promote the adoption of hydrogen applications in offgrid energy, cooking, heating, and industrial uses, replacing fossil-fuel-based hydrogen in key industries like ammonia production and petroleum refining. Furthermore, plans are in place to integrate green hydrogen into city gas systems. The MNRE has issued detailed guidelines outlining project selection, evaluation, funding, and execution processes managed by Scheme Implementing Agencies (SIAs) like CPSUs, State PSUs, NGOs, and R&D institutions. Additionally, MNRE is proposing the establishment of Centres of Excellence (CoE) under NGHM to boost R&D in green hydrogen production, storage, and utilization, offering substantial funding support. This initiative sets a clear pathway for green hydrogen innovation in India, fostering cleaner energy sources and sustainable industrial transformation.
