Cabinet approves National Green Hydrogen Mission
The Mission will result in the following likely outcomes by 2030:
The Mission will facilitate demand creation production utilisation and export of Green Hydrogen. Under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition Programme (SIGHT) two distinct financial incentive mechanisms “ targeting domestic manufacturing of electrolysers and production of Green Hydrogen “ will be provided under the Mission. The Mission will also support pilot projects in emerging end-use sectors and production pathways. Regions capable of supporting large-scale production and or utilisation of Hydrogen will be identified and developed as Green Hydrogen Hubs.
An enabling policy framework will be developed to support the establishment of the Green Hydrogen ecosystem. A robust Standards and Regulations framework will be also developed. Further a public-private partnership framework for R&D (Strategic Hydrogen Innovation Partnership “ SHIP) will be facilitated under the Mission; R&D projects will be goal-oriented time-bound and suitably scaled up to develop globally competitive technologies. A coordinated skill development programme will also be undertaken under the mission.
All concerned Ministries Departments agencies and institutions of the Central and State Governments will undertake focused and coordinated steps to ensure the successful achievement of the Mission objectives. The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy will be responsible for the overall coordination and implementation of the Mission.
