The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in India has called for proposals from eligible entities to establish Centres of Excellence (CoEs) under the National Green Hydrogen Mission's R&D Scheme. Launched with an outlay of INR 19,744 crore, the initiative aims to make India a global hub for Green Hydrogen production, usage, and export. The R&D Scheme focuses on promoting indigenous technology development for the widespread deployment of Green Hydrogen Technology across the country. The CoEs are set to support integrated research in the Green Hydrogen sector, covering areas like production, transport & storage, applications, and safety. They will serve as hubs for cutting-edge research, skill development, information dissemination, and industry collaboration. The program aims at fostering partnerships between industry, academia, and government to achieve the mission's goals. Eligible entities for submitting proposals include Academic Institutions, R&D Institutions, Government Institutions, PSUs, Private Research Institutions, and industries with relevant experience and infrastructure. Selected entities may receive up to 50% financial support for the project cost, with the remaining to be borne by them. The CoEs are expected to accelerate the scaling of Green Hydrogen technologies, support pilot projects, enhance workforce skills, increase public awareness, and promote the adoption of clean hydrogen solutions.
