Letter from India: Turning hydrogen hub dreams into reality

It involves huge infrastructure development across all segments of the hydrogen economy. Several countries and multinational corporates have adopted a strong commitment to the target of net-zero emissions and have taken up green hydrogen/ammonia projects, including hubs for domestic distribution and export. 306mt/yr – Volume of green hydrogen needed for net-zero world, according to IEA One-hundred and ninety-eight
