The Indian government has announced a call for proposals to establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) under the Research and Development Scheme of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The objective of this initiative, as stated by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), is to create CoEs that will drive innovation, promote sustainability, and enhance energy independence in the long term. These CoEs will play a crucial role in expediting the transition to a low-carbon economy by focusing on the advancement of green hydrogen production, storage, and utilization technologies. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy issued the call for proposals on November 4 to solicit contributions for this strategic endeavor. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, which commenced on January 4, 2023, has allocated a substantial budget of Rs. 19,744 crore up to the fiscal year 2029-30 to establish 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen capacity. This mission underscores India's commitment to sustainable energy practices and signifies a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting eco-friendly energy solutions.
