India's Initiative: Green Hydrogen Quality and Testing Boost
Key Ideas
  • The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India has introduced guidelines to enhance the quality and testing ecosystem for Green Hydrogen (GH2) sector.
  • The scheme will allocate Rs. 200 Crores until the financial year 2025-26 to develop and upgrade testing facilities, ensuring safe operations in GH2 production.
  • The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to make India self-reliant in clean energy, reduce fossil fuel dependence, and lead in technology and market aspects of Green Hydrogen.
  • The guidelines focus on developing sustainable testing facilities to uphold quality, sustainability, and safety in Green Hydrogen production and trade.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy in India has released guidelines to bolster the quality and testing ecosystem in the Green Hydrogen (GH2) sector. The government scheme aims to provide funding for the development of testing facilities, infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. With an allocated budget of Rs. 200 Crores until 2025-26, the scheme will identify gaps in existing testing facilities and support the creation of new ones to ensure secure operations in GH2 production. The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will oversee the implementation of the scheme. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, initiated in January 2023 with a budget of Rs. 19,744 crores until 2029-30, aims to drive India towards self-reliance in clean energy and establish leadership in the global transition to clean energy. The mission is expected to lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions, lower dependence on fossil fuel imports, and position India at the forefront of Green Hydrogen technology and markets. The guidelines emphasize the importance of building robust quality and performance testing facilities to ensure the sustainability, safety, and quality standards in Green Hydrogen production and trade.
