Central to this endeavor is the implementation of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in January 2023. With an overarching objective to spearhead the adoption of green hydrogen technologies, the mission is poised to revolutionize India's energy landscape. It seeks to foster a vibrant research and development ecosystem conducive to the commercialization of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
Key components of the mission include the establishment of pilot projects across various sectors such as steel, mobility, shipping, and decentralized energy applications. These pilot initiatives, supported by an outlay of INR 1,466 crores, aim to demonstrate the viability and scalability of green hydrogen solutions in diverse industrial settings.
Furthermore, a robust research and development program, with a budgetary allocation of INR 400 crores, is slated to drive innovation and technological advancements in the field. Through public-private partnerships, this initiative aims to accelerate the development of cutting-edge technologies essential for efficient hydrogen production, storage, and utilization.
Highlighting the significance of indigenous innovation, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has embarked on a Mission Mode Project to develop various types of electrolyzers and fuel cells. With a focus on achieving global benchmarks in efficiency, this project underscores India's commitment to fostering homegrown expertise in green hydrogen technologies.
Additionally, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) has lent its support to the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell program, with a focus on indigenous development of essential components and materials. By nurturing a robust ecosystem for research and innovation, DST aims to catalyze the widespread adoption of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies across diverse applications.
The National Green Hydrogen Mission and the accompanying research and development initiatives mark a pivotal moment in India's quest for sustainable energy solutions.
