A national green hydrogen policy which will provide free power transmission for production of green hydrogen is set to be announced soon, Power Minister RK Singh said Thursday.
The Centre aims to swap use of grey hydrogen produced using fossil fuels with green hydrogen produced from renewable energy. The petroleum refining and fertiliser sectors are among the largest users of hydrogen in India.
In the green hydrogen policy, “we are saying that we will give free transmission … for 25 years,” Singh said, noting that one could generate power in Rajasthan and can transport it to Guwahati and produce green hydrogen there.
