India's Green Hydrogen Revolution: Fueling Economic Growth and Sustainable Future
Key Ideas
  • India aims for Net Zero emissions by 2070, with green hydrogen playing a vital role in decarbonizing sectors like steel, cement, and chemicals.
  • Green hydrogen, produced from renewable sources, has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 90% in hard-to-abate sectors by 2050.
  • The National Hydrogen Mission in India incentivizes green hydrogen production and electrolyzer manufacturing, aiming to produce 5 million metric tons annually by 2030.
  • Investments in green hydrogen are not only environmentally beneficial but also economically advantageous, creating around 20,000 jobs per billion dollars invested and fostering workforce development.
India is paving the way for a green hydrogen revolution by announcing ambitious targets for Net Zero emissions by 2070 at the COP 26 summit. Green hydrogen, produced from renewable sources, is set to decarbonize challenging sectors like steel, cement, and chemicals, with the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) predicts that green hydrogen could meet a substantial portion of global energy demand by 2050, aiding in limiting global warming. In India, the National Hydrogen Mission fosters an ecosystem to promote green hydrogen adoption by offering incentives, removing barriers, and focusing on public-private partnerships. The mission targets a production of 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030, driven by the country's renewable energy potential. Economic benefits include job creation, workforce development, and opportunities for upskilling in the clean energy sector. As India invests in green hydrogen, it not only advances sustainability but also positions itself as a global leader in clean energy technologies, fostering economic growth and environmental stewardship.
