India Launches Funding Scheme for Green Hydrogen Testing Facilities
Key Ideas
- The Government of India has allocated INR 200 crore for the development of quality and performance testing facilities to ensure sustainability in green hydrogen production.
- The funding scheme under the National Green Hydrogen Mission will support the identification and bridging of gaps in existing testing facilities for green hydrogen.
- China University of Petroleum researchers emphasize the importance of geological analysis and hazard mitigation for stable underground green hydrogen storage.
- Companies like Sungrow Hydrogen and HDF Energy are making significant advancements in green hydrogen production and infrastructure development globally.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India has introduced guidelines for funding testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. With a budget of INR 200 crore until 2025-26, the scheme aims to enhance the quality and sustainability of green hydrogen production. The scheme will address gaps in testing facilities, support the creation of new facilities, and upgrade existing ones to ensure self-sufficiency in testing and certification. China University of Petroleum researchers highlight the need for geological analysis and risk mitigation for effective underground hydrogen storage. Sungrow Hydrogen has secured a project in China to produce green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol, while HDF Energy in France has received European Commission approval for a hydrogen fuel cell industrial project. Additionally, Shell Canada has initiated a carbon capture project, Walmart Canada has introduced hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-trucks to its fleet, and the global focus on green hydrogen is driving innovation and investment in the industry.
