India launches dedicated portal for National Green Hydrogen Mission
Around 300 stakeholders from ministries, PSUs, government agencies, industry, associations, research institutes, laboratories and academia participated in a workshop on ‘Quality Control in Green Hydrogen; deliberations held on Quality Standards, Testing Infrastructure and Ease of Doing Business’.
The workshop convened on 8 May by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy https://mnre.gov.in/ deliberated on actions needed to create a homogeneous ecosystem for Green Hydrogen production processes through clear quality standards.
It also discussed the steps to be taken to create a network of green hydrogen https://www.wagreenhydrogen.com/ testing facilities, and for promoting Ease of Doing Business to accelerate the clean energy transition.
A dedicated portal for the National Green Hydrogen Mission https://ih2a.com/ was launched, which would serve as a one-stop location for information on the Mission and steps taken for the development of the green hydrogen ecosystem in India.
The portal can be accessed here: https://nghm.mnre.gov.in/ .
A report on “Green Hydrogen Standards and Approval Systems in India” and another one on “India’s Green Hydrogen Revolution” were also released during the workshop https://hydrogeneurope.eu/ .
Five panel discussions were held at the workshop, where experts from leading technical institutions, regulators and industry deliberated on the following issues pertaining to https://euhydrogenweek.eu/become-an-exhibitor/ the green hydrogen ecosystem:
Green Hydrogen Ecosystem: Imperatives, Challenges and Way Forward
Standards in Hydrogen Storage
Standards of Electrolyser Manufacturing & Performance
Standards for Green Hydrogen Production Plants & Systems Green Hydrogen based Applications.
Meanwhile, an Indian pavilion was set up at the https://www.world-hydrogen-summit.com/ , held in Rotterdam 13-15 May, showcasing Rs.19,744 crore National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The Summit was attended by around 15,000 delegates from around the world who were given update on the progress made by India in Green Hydrogen development process.
India has set an ambitious target to achieve a green hydrogen production capacity of 5 MMT (Million Metric Tonnes) by end of the year 2030. As on date, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy has awarded tenders for setting up of 412,000 tonnes of Green Hydrogen production capacity and 1,500 MW of electrolyzer manufacturing capacity.
India has also notified scheme guidelines for use of Green Hydrogen in steel, transport-mobility and shipping sectors.
The Department of Science and Technology has initiated Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters to foster innovation and promote Green Hydrogen ecosystem in India.
The Indian delegation comprised nominees from Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and from private sector companies as well. In addition to various G2G interactions, the Summit provides a platform for Indian industry to engage with companies from around the globe. Fiinews.com
