Indo-German Green Hydrogen Roadmap: Encouraging Private Sector Investment and Trade
Key Ideas
  • India and Germany release the 'Indo-German Green Hydrogen Roadmap' to promote green hydrogen market ramp-up and cooperation.
  • Key strategies aim to encourage private sector investment, promote green hydrogen trade, and facilitate information exchange in challenging sectors.
  • The roadmap focuses on decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries, promoting sustainable refueling options for transport, and enhancing hydrogen technologies.
  • Both nations aim to reduce fossil fuel reliance, decarbonize economies, and establish robust national green hydrogen economies through collaboration.
During the 7th Inter-Governmental Consultations in New Delhi, India and Germany officially released the 'Indo-German Green Hydrogen Roadmap' to boost the market development of green hydrogen. This roadmap, valid for the next five years, emphasizes strategies to enhance private sector investments, promote green hydrogen trade and export, and facilitate information exchange, especially in challenging sectors like steel, refineries, and fertilizers. The document highlights the focus areas for bilateral cooperation, including decarbonizing industries, sustainable refueling options for transport, and developing hydrogen transport and storage technologies. Additionally, both countries have established the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) program to incentivize companies manufacturing electrolysers for the green hydrogen value chain. By collaborating and leveraging their strengths, Germany and India aim to make green hydrogen economically viable globally, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Moreover, a permanent working group under the Indo-German Energy Forum will replace the existing Indo-German Green Hydrogen Task Force to institutionalize ongoing dialogue and cooperation in the green hydrogen sector.
