India's Green Energy Revolution: Leading the World in Electrolyser Manufacturing
Key Ideas
- India aims to have an installed electrolyser manufacturing capacity of up to 100 GW by 2030, positioning itself as a global leader in green energy growth.
- The government's target of 5 million metric tonne (MMT) of installed green hydrogen mission capacity highlights the country's commitment to clean energy.
- Green hydrogen is crucial for decarbonizing sectors like transportation, steel manufacturing, and heavy industry, offering a sustainable solution with minimal carbon footprint.
- Under Prime Minister's leadership, India has significantly increased its renewable energy capacity, with solar power capacity growing from 3 GW to over 85 GW and wind power capacity from 21 GW to more than 46 GW.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi recently inaugurated an electrolyser manufacturing facility in Doddaballapur, Karnataka, highlighting India's potential to lead the world in green energy growth. By 2030, the country is expected to have an installed electrolyser manufacturing capacity of up to 100 GW, a significant step towards achieving the government's target of 5 million metric tonne (MMT) of green hydrogen mission capacity. Green hydrogen, powered by electrolysis, is seen as a key solution for decarbonizing sectors like transportation, steel manufacturing, and heavy industry, offering a sustainable alternative without harmful environmental impacts. Minister Joshi emphasized that India's renewable energy sector has made remarkable progress, with solar power capacity growing from 3 GW to over 85 GW and wind power capacity from 21 GW to more than 46 GW under the Prime Minister's leadership. This growth trajectory showcases India's commitment to clean energy and its potential to drive global green energy initiatives.
