Following the central government's initiative to incentivize green hydrogen production and electrolyzer manufacturing, various Indian states have begun implementing their own hydrogen policies. These state-level initiatives include subsidies for the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia, as well as support for renewable energy projects. Currently, state policies are focusing on integrating renewable energy, ensuring industrial alignment and resource management, and aligning each region's unique strengths to meet the targets set by the National Green Hydrogen Mission. These cohesive efforts will help India not only meet its energy and environmental objectives but also establish a strong presence in the international green hydrogen market.

India Opens Funding Competition for 'Green' Hydrogen Hub Development 💹 India has launched a funding competition to establish two "green hydrogen hubs," inviting proposals from consortia interested in developing centres for hydrogen production, storage, transportation, and use. Organized by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), the tender requires interested bidders to submit their proposals by 7 October. A pre-bid information meeting is scheduled for the first week of September. The hubs, which must have a minimum production capacity of 100,000 t/yr, are expected to be operational by 31 March 2026. SECI has allocated 2 billion rupees ($24 million) for the project, with a preference for proposals offering higher capacities. While the funding may not fully cover large-scale infrastructure, it is expected to aid planning costs and enable access to additional funds through other competitions. The green hydrogen hubs will be judged on production capacity, infrastructure, natural resource availability, and end-use potential. Factors like land ownership, water sourcing, proximity to industrial demand, and export terminals will also be considered. Funds will be disbursed in phases, tied to key project milestones, with up to 90% released based on progress in land acquisition, financial closure, and investment commitments.

GoI Invites Proposals for Setting Up Centres of Excellence for Research and Development on Green Hydrogen · Centres of Excellence will facilitate integrated research covering multiple areas in the Green Hydrogen value chain The Government of India has invited Proposals for setting up Centres of Excellence (CoE) under Research and Development (R&D) Scheme of National Green Hydrogen Mission. The call for proposals (CfP) has been issued by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) on 4th November 2024. The objective is to establish world-class Centres of Excellence for Green Hydrogen in India to foster innovation, promote sustainability, thereby enhancing energy independence in the long term. These CoEs will accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy by advancing Green Hydrogen production, storage, and utilization technologies. The CoEs will act as focal points for cutting-edge research, skill development, and knowledge dissemination. These CoEs will also facilitate collaboration among stakeholders, including industry, academia, and Government in order to drive innovations in Green Hydrogen technologies, leading to improved process efficiencies and new product development. These centres will aggregate and leverage expertise and resources to advance the entire Green Hydrogen ecosystem in the country. MNRE had earlier released Guidelines on 15th March, 2024, for the implementation of R&D Scheme under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. It is expected that Public and Private entities including Research Institutions, Universities would form partnerships to submit proposals against this CfP. The Government has allotted Rs 100 crores for setting up such Centres, under the Green Hydrogen Mission. The National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched on 4th January 2023, with an outlay of Rs. 19,744 crores up to FY 2029-30. It will contribute to India’s goal to become Aatma Nirbhar (self-reliant) through clean energy and serve as an inspiration for the global Clean Energy transition. The Mission will lead to significant decarbonization of the economy, reduced dependence on fossil fuel imports, and enable India to assume technology and market leadership in Green Hydrogen. #MNRE #GreenHydrogen #Energy #CleanEnergy #Scheme
