• Globally, many large-scale green hydrogen projects are being announced on a daily basis. Several countries have also published national green hydrogen strategies.
• India too reiterated its commitment to green hydrogen in February 2021, when the government announced its plan to launch the Hydrogen Energy Mission. It has earmarked Rs 15 billion for the mission and the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, though the details are awaited.
• As green hydrogen gains uptake and achieves commercial viability, it can be used to meet the hydrogen demand in the country, across several sectors including power, transport, industries and buildings. Hydrogen could also be used as an energy storage option, with hydrogen-powered fuel cells being used to mitigate the intermittency of renewable power.
• Currently, a number of pilot projects are operational and in the pipeline. Several collaborations between Indian and international companies have also taken place in the space over the past year.
• The challenge, though, would be to scale up the pilot projects. There are only a handful of Indian companies that produce electrolysers and that too on a small scale. The other challenge is that the current cost of green hydrogen production is almost thrice the cost of grey hydrogen. Further, India has technological disadvantages when it comes to compressing and storing hydrogen for automobiles.
• Going forward, green hydrogen development will require a deep and objective understanding of the facts pertaining to the current status of the sector in terms of production and consumption, the competitive gap between renewable hydrogen and its fossil alternatives, plans for further development of (clean) pathways for hydrogen production and use, and the policies that incentivise the adoption of clean hydrogen technologies over fossil-based fuels and feedstocks.
• The mission of this virtual conference is to bring together policymakers, renewable energy developers, grid planners, technology providers, industry experts and investors to present their perspectives, share experiences from early projects, and offer possible solutions for shaping the future of green hydrogen. Leading developers will showcase projects and present plans for producing green hydrogen. Technology providers will describe their innovations and solutions for ramping up the production of green hydrogen. Industry experts will also present their solutions to build the infrastructure needed for transporting and storing green hydrogen.
