  • The scope of work includes developing infrastructure for storage, transportation, and utilization of green hydrogen, as well as water treatment, energy storage, and effluent treatment facilities.
  • SECI will provide financial support for developing at least two Green Hydrogen Hubs with individual capacities of at least 100,000 MTPA each, aiming to position India as a global hub for green hydrogen production and export.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission has an outlay of ₹197.44 billion, focusing on making India a leading player in producing, using, and exporting green hydrogen and its derivatives.
The Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) has initiated the process to identify an executing agency to establish Green Hydrogen Hubs in India under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The deadline for submitting proposals is October 7, 2024, with bid openings scheduled for the following day. Interested bidders are required to pay a tender fee of ₹59,000 (~$703.20). The objective of the tender is to identify and nurture regions capable of supporting significant production and utilization of green hydrogen by developing Green Hydrogen Hubs. These hubs will focus on improving cost competitiveness, maximizing production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The scope of work includes the development of storage and transportation facilities, pipeline infrastructure, vehicle refueling stations, hydrogen compression, and liquefaction technologies. It also involves setting up water treatment facilities, bunkering facilities, infrastructure for shipping, power transmission, energy storage, and effluent treatment plants. SECI aims to provide financial support for establishing a minimum of two Green Hydrogen Hubs, each with a capacity of at least 100,000 metric tons per annum, offering Central Financial Assistance of up to ₹1 billion (~$11.9 million) for each hub. The mission, with a total outlay of ₹197.44 billion (~$2.35 billion), seeks to position India as a global leader in green hydrogen production, utilization, and export. The article also mentions previous initiatives by SECI, including inviting bids for green hydrogen production facilities and green ammonia production in India, as part of the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Program.
