TERI Recommends Creating a Competitive Market for Green Hydrogen Procurement in India
Key Ideas
- TERI suggests creating an entity similar to SECI for procuring green hydrogen in India, aiming to meet downstream demand for various industries.
- The report emphasizes the need for a competitive market for green hydrogen procurement to lower downstream production costs and create competitive production capacities.
- Recommendations include setting up SPVs for each industrial segment for pilot plant development, ensuring long-term procurement contracts for derisking investments, and lowering production costs.
The Energy & Resources Institute (TERI) in India has highlighted the importance of developing a competitive market for green hydrogen procurement. In a report, TERI recommended creating an entity like SECI to procure green hydrogen for industries through long-term contracts. Currently, there is no market for green hydrogen in India, leading to challenges in replacing carbon-emitting fossil fuels. The report stressed the need for sustained demand to attract investments and proposed competitive procurement of green hydrogen to meet downstream project demands. It suggested creating SPVs for different industrial segments to develop pilot plants and ensure assured supply of green hydrogen at competitive prices. By following these recommendations, the report aims to lower production costs, derisk investments, and foster a competitive industry structure in the green hydrogen sector.
