India Accelerates Renewable Energy Drive with Focus on Green Technologies and Hydrogen Transport
Key Ideas
  • India plans to intensify its renewable energy efforts by expanding solar power, wind energy, and green hydrogen transport, with a focus on lowering costs and creating infrastructure.
  • Key developments include the consideration of an Approved List of Models and Manufacturers for solar cells, approval of viability gap funding for offshore wind projects, and plans to increase nuclear and solar power capacity.
  • Efforts towards achieving these goals include reducing offshore wind energy costs, developing electrolyser capacity for green hydrogen production, and conducting surveys for green hydrogen transport via pipelines.
India is ramping up its efforts towards renewable energy, with a specific focus on the adoption of green technologies and hydrogen transport. The government is planning to increase solar power, wind energy, and green hydrogen transport through pipelines. Major developments include plans for an Approved List of Models and Manufacturers for solar cells to boost the domestic solar industry. Viability gap funding has been approved for offshore wind projects to enhance the infrastructure and support port upgrades in regions like Tamil Nadu and Gujarat. The government aims to reduce the cost of offshore wind energy and increase electrolyser capacity for green hydrogen production. GAIL and IOCL are conducting surveys for the transport of green hydrogen via pipelines, marking a significant step in India's green hydrogen infrastructure. There are ambitious targets to expand nuclear and solar power capacity significantly, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions and meeting energy demands sustainably.
