India's Strategic Plan for Green Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Expansion
Key Ideas
  • Indian government expediting transmission capacity addition to facilitate green hydrogen and electrolyser projects.
  • Renewable Energy Secretary highlights the importance of synchronizing transmission capacity with green energy projects.
  • India aims to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030 and net zero emissions by 2070.
  • Collaboration between ministries to support the development of green hydrogen and renewable energy infrastructure.
The Indian government is focusing on accelerating the addition of transmission capacity to support the growth of green hydrogen and electrolyser projects, as mentioned by the Renewable Energy Secretary Bhupinder Singh Bhalla. The plan aims to address the upcoming green hydrogen and electrolyser projects, which are expected to be operational within three years. This timeline allows for sufficient preparation to enhance transmission capacities in tandem with the renewable energy expansion. The discussion at the International Conference on Green Hydrogen emphasized the significance of adding transmission lines to accommodate the surge in renewable energy production for green hydrogen fuel. Bhalla highlighted the coordination between companies establishing renewable energy capacities for green hydrogen and the Ministry of Power to ensure streamlined access. Additionally, the production of green ammonia, a derivative of green hydrogen, is anticipated to take about three years, aligning with the timeline for enhancing transmission systems. India's commitment to green hydrogen is evident through the National Green Hydrogen Mission, with ambitious targets of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030 and aiming for net zero emissions by 2070. Bhalla's positive outlook on India's renewable energy achievements and future goals indicates a proactive approach towards sustainable energy development and environmental preservation.
