Green hydrogen: Policy for producers this week
The government will announce the first part of a green hydrogen policy this week, under which green hydrogen producers will be granted free power transmission for renewable energy projects set up before 2025, Power Minister RK Singh said on Wednesday.
He said the Centre would also come out with mandates, after clearance from the Cabinet, that require replacement of some proportion of grey hydrogen used by sectors such as oil refining, fertilisers and steel. Grey hydrogen is hydrogen produced using natural gas or methane, while green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis using renewable energy.
