The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will soon seek Union Cabinet’s approval for a mandate on the use of green hydrogen in different industries.
As per the consumption mandate, various industries especially petroleum, steel and fertilizers, would be mandated to consume certain proportion of green hydrogen.
At present various industries use hydrogen produced using energy from non-fossil fuel-based sources.
“Basically that (green hydrogen consumption) mandate fixation is in process. By and large, we have had the discussions and we have come up with some figures, and we will go to the cabinet soon,” Union Power and New & Renewable Energy Minister R K Singh said at the BNEF Summit here.
