Shri G.S. Institute of Technology & Science (SGSITS) in Indore, India, has shown interest in establishing a Green Hydrogen Centre of Excellence under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The proposal was submitted to Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEFCC) chairman during his visit to the college. The Indian Government, through the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), issued a Call for Proposals inviting entities to set up Centres of Excellence (CoE) for advancing Green Hydrogen technologies. With a significant budget allocation, this mission is a crucial part of India's strategy to move towards a low-carbon economy and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. The Green Hydrogen Centre of Excellence will play a vital role in India's clean energy ecosystem by promoting research, innovation, and knowledge sharing in the field of green hydrogen, produced from renewable sources like solar and wind. SGSITS aims to establish itself as a leading academic and research institution driving this energy transition, with a focus on sustainability, energy independence, and global leadership in Green Hydrogen.
