India outlines policies to drive green hydrogen production
Government targets 5mn t/yr of output and role as export hub
India has set out a raft of new policies designed to drive investment in green hydrogen projects as it targets production of 5mn t/yr by 2030 and aims to position itself as an export hub. The set of “major policy enablers” is the government’s first detailed statement on green hydrogen since prime minister Narendra Modi outlined a “national hydrogen mission” in August last year. “The implementation of this policy will provide clean fuel to the common people of the country. This will reduce dependence on fossil fuels and also reduce crude oil imports. The objective also is for our country to emerge as an export hub for green hydrogen and green ammonia,” the government’s ministry of power says.
