India Advances National Green Hydrogen Mission with Whole-of-Government Coordination
The Indian government is progressing the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) through a comprehensive whole-of-government approach. The Union Cabinet approved the mission to establish India as a global hub for green hydrogen production and exports.
Key ministries are assigned specific roles, including the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy for coordination, the Ministry of Power for implementing renewable energy policies, and the Ministry of Petroleum for integrating green hydrogen in refineries. Pilot projects have been sanctioned for 37 hydrogen-fueled vehicles and 9 refueling stations across India.
Additionally, V. O. Chidambaranar Port will develop a bunkering facility for green methanol.
Recognized green hydrogen hubs include Deendayal Port, V. O. Chidambaranar Port, and Paradip Port. The Andhra Pradesh government aims to create a Green Hydrogen Valley by 2030.
