Union Minister for Power, New and Renewable energy R K Singh on Wednesday said green hydrogen is going to be the future fuel in India while urging investors to invest in the country to manufacture the clean energy source. The remarks came at the first International Conference on Green Hydrogen 2023.
"We will help you in developing (green hydrogen) projects. We will also help you with demand as well. Come and partner with us," he said. The investors can partner for development of electrolysers, mechanism for transportation of green hydrogen, usage of green hydrogen in manufacturing for green steel and cement etc, he said.
Singh said there are industries which have started working to set up 3.5 MT capacity of green hydrogen. They are engaged with various states for acquisition of land, he informed the attendees which included diplomats and industry leaders across various countries.
In January 2023, the Centre approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission with an outlay of Rs 19,744 crore with an aim to make India a global hub for manufacturing green hydrogen. The mission seeks to promote development of a production capacity of at least 5 MMT (Million Metric Tonne) per annum with an associated renewable energy capacity addition of about 125 GW in the country by 2030.
