India's commitment to a cleaner, greener future takes a giant leap forward with the Green Hydrogen Revolution. As we witness this revolution unfold, stakeholders, businesses, and individuals must come together, fostering collaboration and innovation. By building a robust ecosystem, we can ensure the success and sustainability of India's Green Hydrogen Revolution. Here is my take on India's Green Hydrogen Revolution on Climatora - https://lnkd.in/dVqEDfDM

India currently imports 40 % of its energy requirements, shelling out around USD 90 billion per year. If the National Green Hydrogen mission takes off, it could pivot India from an energy importer to a net energy provider and exporter, besides reducing our import bills for fuel. #india #invest #investment #investinindia #gibf2023 #aatmnirbharbharat #makeinindia

I don't think people understand the complexities behind India's push for green hydrogen. The recent news about Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) potentially cancelling its maiden green hydrogen tender for the second time reveals some fascinating insights into this emerging sector. Let's break it down: 📌 The green hydrogen conundrum: • IOC's 10,000-tonnes-per-annum green hydrogen plant tender • Potential second cancellation to revise bidding norms • Highlights the challenges in implementing new energy technologies 📌The policy puzzle: • India aims for 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen production by 2030 • Government incentives vs. market realities • Fun fact: Green hydrogen could cut India's fossil fuel import bill by $38 billion by 2050 📌Technology vs. cost: • Electrolyzer efficiency improvements needed • Current green hydrogen costs: $5-6 per kg (needs to reach $1-2 to be competitive) • Chicken-and-egg situation: Scale needed for cost reduction, but high costs hinder scale-up 📌The global race: • India competing with US, EU, and China in green hydrogen • Geopolitical implications of energy transition • Did you know? The global green hydrogen market is expected to reach $89.18 billion by 2030 📌Environmental impact: • Green hydrogen could reduce India's carbon emissions by 3.6 gigatonnes annually by 2050 • Potential to transform hard-to-decarbonize sectors like steel and cement Pro tip: Keep an eye on companies investing in green hydrogen tech. They might be tomorrow's energy giants! Remember, the road to green hydrogen adoption isn't straight. It's filled with twists, turns, and occasional U-turns. But each setback is a learning opportunity, bringing us closer to a cleaner energy future. So, next time you hear about green hydrogen, think beyond the hype. It's not just about saving the planet – it's about reshaping economies, industries, and possibly, the global balance of power. Exciting times ahead!

India's goal to become pivotal player in global hydrogen market gets a push. In Kandla, the DPA plans to develop a 7 million metric tons per annum (MMTPA) plant for green ammonia production and a 1.4 MMTPA plant for green hydrogen. The budget touted the recently-launched national green hydrogen mission. The government will spend 197bn rupees ($2.4 bn) developing the carbon-free-fuel, which can replace fossil fuels in the manufacture of steel and in shipping and aviation. Most of the money will be spent on incentives to produce hydrogen with renewable electricity and to build Indian electrolysers, the machines which turn water into hydrogen.

Green Hydrogen might seem like a pricey pipe dream right now, but do not underestimate its potential! Developers are aiming to slash costs from $5/kg to just $1, making it a contender for the energy throne . Why? Because it packs a punch! With the highest energy content (120-142 MJ/kg) of any fuel, it's like a supercharged battery for a cleaner future. India's recent successful Green Hydrogen auction (0.45 million tonnes!) by auctioning to various bidders selected through a process of a bid parameters based on least average incentive demanded from the govt., is a game-changer if implemented. These plants, powered by renewables, could be the key to unlocking hydrogen's potential. But that's not all! India's offering incentives by 50% reduction in revenue sharing to the govt for coal mines for coal gasification – eventually may be used for hydrogen production with carbon capture utilisation storage (CCUS) or Blue Hydrogen ➡️.This double win will helps to meet the climate goals and utilize existing infrastructure . India's Net-Zero commitment by 2070 includes phasing out coal by 2035 onwards and introducing hydrogen turbines by 2031-50. And then to have 40-50 GW of Hydrogen turbine storage power by 2051-70!

Green hydrogen is clearly a big deal in #India, where five states have a dedicated green hydrogen policy, three are drafting one and the federal government's Green Hydrogen Mission has been in force since January 2023. India plans to produce 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen per year by 2030 from close to nil now, supported by $2.4 billion in incentives. States target 7Mt/year by 2030. While our research shows these goals are far-fetched, India is well worth watching. It has the potential to produce some of the world's cheapest #electrolyzers and green #hydrogen. What it needs now is to kick-start #demand domestically. The good news is that in some states, such as Uttar Pradesh, green hydrogen could already compete with gray on an economic basis in petroleum refineries for developers who can stack the federal and local government subsidies on top of each other. The next step that my BloombergNEF colleagues and I have been waiting for with bated breath are smart #mandates or #quotas in sectors that have no choice to decarbonize other than green hydrogen - namely #ammonia and #fertilizer production, as well as #oil refining. India has been promising those for a while. When they do get announced, they could be the game-changer India needs. BNEF users can read more about India's hydrogen ambitions in Part 1 of our Hydrogen in India series, India's Hydrogen Mission: Promising Policies, published last Friday by my colleagues Siddharth Shetty, Shantanu Jaiswal and Adithya Bhashyam. The second installment will focus on green hydrogen #auctions, market players and their plans. Link to the full report available to BNEF users is in the comments.

GREEN HYDROGEN PROJECTS TO CURTAIL USE OF EMISSION CAUSING FOSSIL FUEL – IS IT SIMILAR TO PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE ? – By N.S.Venkataraman Driven by the compulsive need to reduce or possibly eliminate the use of fossil fuel like crude oil and coal as a strategy to prevent emission of global warming noxious gases such as sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, governments all over the world have initiated earnest steps to boost the production of eco friendly green hydrogen. This policy of the governments is in tune with the global need. India is one country which has taken several proactive measures to boost the production of green hydrogen and  can be duly recognized as one of the major countries very actively involved  in the efforts. Scenario in India The SIGHT (Strategic Intervention for Green Hydrogen Transition Programme) has been launched by government of India to promote green hydrogen projects in a big way. India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to produce 5 million metric tonne of green hydrogen each year by 2030. The government has set aside Rs.12,500 crore in incentives to support the green hydrogen projects in the country. To produce green hydrogen, government of India has plans to establish a massive 15000 MW electrolyser manufacturing capacity that require an estimated investment of more than Rs.40,000 crore. It is reported that around 15 companies have been shortlisted to develop the 15000 MW electrolyser capacity. These companies are said to be in the various stages of planning stage.  Availing the government’s incentives , several green hydrogen projects are in the advanced stage of implementation or under planning in India at present in India. Enthused by the government of India’s proactive policies, several global companies have offered to participate in the green hydrogen projects in India U S based Ohmium has already commenced operation at its plant with the capacity of 2000 MW in India . Further, Ohmium is planning to set up an electrolyser and green hydrogen manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu state with an initial investment of around Rs.400 crore.
