Green hydrogen, produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity, is emerging as a critical element in India's transition towards a low-carbon economy. While there are different types of hydrogen energy, green hydrogen is the only one produced in a climate-neutral manner, making it vital for achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Industries like heavy manufacturing, transportation, and energy storage are poised to benefit significantly from the adoption of green hydrogen. India has set ambitious goals for renewable energy capacity and emissions reductions, with green hydrogen playing a key role in these targets. The government, along with companies like Reliance Industries Limited and NTPC, is investing heavily in developing green hydrogen infrastructure and reducing production costs. The potential of green hydrogen to reduce the burden of fossil fuel imports and create a hub for green hydrogen derivatives export in India is significant. However, challenges such as high production costs, infrastructure development, and energy transportation need to be addressed. The government's policy incentives focusing on the supply side need to be complemented with visible off-take pipelines to encourage investment. In the context of India's increasing energy demand and economic growth, the development of a robust green hydrogen economy is crucial for achieving the country's sustainability goals. The writer highlights the importance of fast-tracking the capacity building for green hydrogen to decarbonize high-CO2 emitting sectors and transition to a low-carbon economy. Despite the challenges, green hydrogen is seen as a beacon of hope for India's economic development, energy security, and achieving a sustainable future.
