Focus on stable power grid, renewables, not on green hydrogen, says GTRI

India should focus on ensuring a stable power transmission system and increasing renewables in the energy mix rather than on capital-intensive green hydrogen, think tank GTRI said in its report on Monday.

Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that global private investments in green hydrogen are low, with rich countries providing substantial subsidies.

India should carefully consider the viability and costs before subsidizing its use, GTRI co-founder Ajay Srivastava said.
