India's Green Hydrogen Revolution: A Step Towards Sustainable Development
Key Ideas
  • India's National Green Hydrogen Mission aims for a 5 million-tonne production capacity by 2030, with significant investments and awarded tenders for production and electrolyser manufacturing.
  • Green hydrogen is pivotal in achieving India's sustainable development goals by reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality, and aiming for net zero status by 2070.
  • Global trends in green hydrogen adoption show potential market value to reach $11 trillion by 2050, with countries like Europe, Japan, and South Korea leading in production and adoption.
  • Challenges in green hydrogen adoption include high production costs, infrastructure development, and public awareness, but optimism remains high with 80% of the public supporting government initiatives for adoption.
Green hydrogen has emerged as a focal point in the global pursuit of decarbonisation, with India leading the charge through its National Green Hydrogen Mission. The country has set ambitious goals for green hydrogen production, aiming for 5 million tonnes by 2030 and investing significantly in the necessary infrastructure. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis from renewable energy sources, is seen as a key component in achieving India's sustainable development targets and transitioning to a cleaner energy future. Global trends indicate a potential market value of $11 trillion by 2050 for green hydrogen, with countries like Europe, Japan, and South Korea making strides in production and adoption. Despite challenges such as high production costs and infrastructure development, optimism remains high for green hydrogen's role in the energy transition. Public awareness and government support are crucial for the successful adoption of green hydrogen, with surveys showing significant interest in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) and optimism towards government initiatives. Overcoming challenges in cost, infrastructure, and awareness will be essential for realizing the full potential of green hydrogen in achieving sustainable energy goals globally.
