India's Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has announced the invitation for proposals to establish Centres of Excellence (CoE) under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The purpose of these CoEs is to drive innovation and promote sustainability in green hydrogen production, storage, and utilization. This initiative aims to enhance energy independence in the long term, contributing to a more sustainable energy ecosystem in India. The Ministry highlighted that these CoEs will play a crucial role in accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy by advancing technologies related to green hydrogen. The call for proposals, issued on November 4, signals the government's commitment to fostering a greener future through research and development in the green hydrogen sector. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, initiated in 2023 with a substantial budget of Rs. 19,744 crore until the fiscal year 2029-30, aims to establish 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen capacity. This ambitious target underscores the government's dedication to promoting green energy and reducing carbon emissions. The announcement of inviting proposals for CoEs signifies a positive step towards fostering a more sustainable and innovative ecosystem for green hydrogen in India. Through this initiative, India is poised to make significant strides towards achieving a greener and more energy-independent future, aligning with global efforts towards a sustainable energy transition.
