The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims

 The National Green Hydrogen Mission aims to make India a global hub for green hydrogen production, usage, and export, with a target of 5 million tonnes per annum by 2030, supported by a ₹19,744 crore outlay. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Objectives and Goals:

Become a Global Leader:

The mission aims to position India as a leading producer and supplier of green hydrogen globally. 

Decarbonization:

It seeks to significantly reduce CO2 emissions across industrial, mobility, and energy sectors. 

Energy Security:

The mission aims to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and feedstock. 

Economic Growth:

It aims to create jobs, attract investments, and foster indigenous manufacturing capabilities in the green hydrogen sector. 

Technological Advancement:

The mission supports research and development in green hydrogen technologies, including electrolyzers and fuel cells. 

Key Components and Initiatives:

Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Programme:

This program provides financial incentives for manufacturing electrolysers and producing green hydrogen.

Pilot Projects:

The mission supports pilot projects in various sectors, including steel, mobility, shipping, and decentralized energy applications.

Green Hydrogen Hubs:

Regions capable of supporting large-scale hydrogen production and utilization will be identified and developed as Green Hydrogen Hubs.

Infrastructure Development:

The mission supports the development of infrastructure for hydrogen production, storage, and distribution.

Regulations and Standards:

A robust framework of regulations and standards will be established to support the green hydrogen ecosystem.

Research and Development (R&D):

A public-private partnership framework (Strategic Hydrogen Innovation Partnership – SHIP) will be facilitated to support R&D projects.

Skill Development:

A coordinated skill development program will be undertaken to build a skilled workforce for the green hydrogen sector. 

Expected Outcomes:

Reduced Carbon Emissions:

The mission is expected to lead to significant reductions in CO2 emissions, contributing to India's climate goals.

Increased Energy Security:

By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, the mission will enhance India's energy security.

Economic Growth and Job Creation:

The mission is expected to create numerous job opportunities and stimulate economic growth.

Technological Leadership:

India is poised to become a leader in green hydrogen technology and manufacturing.
