India unlocks $8m funding for green hydrogen projects | Hydrogen

India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is embarking on a $7.8m funding spree for four green hydrogen projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission’s central financial assistance (CFA) scheme – an initiative that aims to accelerate deployment of the green molecule as a clean energy source. The projects are located in areas known as Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters (HVICs) where hydrogen is used across various sectors and where it is being actively promoted as a sustainable energy source. Under the initiative, a project in Pune being developed by the National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL) will receive $2m, while a project in Kerala spearheaded by clean energy research organisation ANERT will be allocated $2.4m. Two projects led by the Indian Institutes of Technology will receive $1.7m (in Bubaneswar) and $1.6m (in Jodhpur), respectively. … to continue… Read More »India unlocks $8m funding for green hydrogen projects | Hydrogen

India unveils green hydrogen certification to support active market | Hydrogen

India has launched the country’s Green Hydrogen Certification Scheme (GHCI), laying the regulatory foundation for what it hopes will become a global export market worth $70bn and a cornerstone of its domestic clean energy strategy. Unveiled by Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Prahlad Joshi, the GHCI defines what qualifies as ‘green’ hydrogen, introduces a multi-tiered certification system, and sets a maximum lifecycle emissions threshold of 2kg CO2 equivalent per kg of hydrogen. The scheme applies to hydrogen produced via electrolysis or biomass conversion, using renewable energy only. Certification will be mandatory for all producers except those manufacturing hydrogen exclusively for export. The framework includes four levels of certification: concept, facility-level, provisional, and final, with the final certificate required to access government incentives or sell hydrogen in the domestic market. The scheme is designed… Read More »India unveils green hydrogen certification to support active market | Hydrogen
