In his recent speech on Independence Day, Prime Minister Modi reiterated India's commitment to becoming a manufacturing powerhouse of green hydrogen, emphasizing its role in ensuring energy security and reducing reliance on conventional fuels. Green hydrogen, generated through electrolysis using renewable sources, has been identified as a key solution to combatting climate change and creating green employment opportunities. The National Hydrogen Mission, with a substantial financial outlay, aims to ramp up green hydrogen production to 5 million metric tons per year by 2030, significantly reducing fossil fuel imports and greenhouse gas emissions while creating a large number of jobs in the green energy sector. The mission also seeks to bolster India's renewable energy capacity and establish Green Hydrogen Hubs to facilitate mass production and usage of green hydrogen. Upgrading ports for hydrogen import/export further positions India as a global player in the hydrogen market. The transition to green hydrogen is expected to benefit carbon-intensive industries like steel and cement, as well as the transport sector through the adoption of fuel cell electric vehicles, paving the way for a sustainable and eco-friendly energy future.
