India plans to produce 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030
NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India plans to manufacture a cumulative 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, the country’s power ministry said on Thursday, as it aims to meet its climate targets and make the country a production and export hub for the fuel.
Green hydrogen, produced using renewable energy, has some of the best environmental credentials among cleaner-burning fuels. It is not currently produced in India on a commercial scale.
India will set up separate manufacturing zones, waive inter-state power transmission charges for 25 years and provide connectivity to electric grids on priority to green hydrogen and ammonia producers in a bid to incentivise production, the federal power ministry said on Thursday.
