Shri Hardeep Singh Puri, the Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, delivered a speech at the 2nd International Conference on Green Hydrogen, emphasizing India's dedication to becoming a worldwide leader in green hydrogen production and export. India is actively promoting the usage of green hydrogen and its derivatives through various initiatives. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is taking steps to integrate green hydrogen into refineries and City Gas Distribution systems, with a target to produce over 1 million metric tons of green hydrogen by 2030. Noteworthy collaborations include setting up the first Green Hydrogen plant in the aviation sector and providing a green hydrogen fuel cell bus to the Indian Navy. India has made remarkable progress in the hydrogen sector, securing significant electrolyser manufacturing capacity, and achieving substantial green hydrogen production levels. With the potential to cater to both domestic and global markets, India's investment in solar energy and power grid infrastructure has positioned it as a leading producer of green hydrogen. The country's strategic vision includes ambitious policies like the Green Hydrogen Policy and National Green Hydrogen Mission, aiming for substantial production targets and massive reductions in fossil fuel imports. Several states in India are further incentivizing green hydrogen usage, aligning with the country's goal of being at the forefront of green energy. Despite challenges in the global green hydrogen value chain, Minister Puri expressed confidence in India's ability to overcome obstacles and thrive as a hydrogen hub, fostering economic development and enhancing energy security.
