India's Push for Green Hydrogen: MNRE's Innovative Pilot Project Guidelines
Key Ideas
- MNRE releases guidelines for pilot projects on Green Hydrogen production and use, focusing on innovative methods for residential and commercial applications.
- Projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission aim to position India as a global leader, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and decarbonize the economy.
- Decentralized applications like cooking, heating, and off-grid electricity will be explored, along with new production methods using renewable resources.
- The initiative includes a budget allocation of INR 200 crore until 2025-26 and involves key Scheme Implementing Agencies to manage the projects.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India has introduced scheme guidelines for pilot projects aimed at advancing the production and utilization of Green Hydrogen through innovative methods. These projects are part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission launched to establish India as a global leader in Green Hydrogen production and technology while supporting decarbonization efforts and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The pilot projects will focus on decentralized applications in various settings, exploring unique production methods such as floating solar-based, biomass-based, and wastewater-based hydrogen generation to optimize local resources and reduce infrastructure needs. Green Hydrogen will be utilized for cooking, heating, off-grid electricity, and more. The initiative aims to demonstrate the safe use of Green Hydrogen in new sectors, with a budget of INR 200 crore until 2025-26 managed by Scheme Implementing Agencies. These projects will tackle current technology challenges and provide insights for scaling up Green Hydrogen production, contributing significantly to India's decarbonization goals and long-term clean energy objectives.
