India awards tenders for 412,000 tonnes inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing, 1.5 GW electrolyser manufacturing 

India has awarded tenders for establishing 412,000 tonnes of inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing and 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyser manufacturing capability, the Ministry of New & Renewable Vitality (MNRE) mentioned.

MNRE Secretary Bhupinder S Bhalla throughout his opening remarks on the World Hydrogen Summit 2024 in Netherlands on Wednesday highlighted India’s achievements beneath the SIGHT program and the progress of pilot tasks beneath the mission.

Addressing the World Hydrogen Summit 2024 in Netherlands on Wednesday he mentioned that India has awarded tenders for establishing 412,000 tonnes of inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing capability and 1,500 megawatt (MW) of electrolyzer manufacturing capability, MNRE tweeted on X (previously Twitter).

Bhalla emphasised on India’s benefits as a inexperienced hydrogen producer, significantly as a rustic with one of many most cost-effective sources of renewable vitality. India is main the cost in the direction of a extra inclusive and environmentally-conscious vitality panorama.

Final 12 months, the MNRE launched the Nationwide Inexperienced Hydrogen Mission, beneath which it’s implementing the Strategic Interventions for Inexperienced Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) programme that goals to ascertain electrolyser manufacturing base and inexperienced hydrogen producing services.

Beneath Part 1 of SIGHT, the MNRE has allotted Rs 4,440 crore for manufacturing electrolysers for the interval FY26 to FY30, whereas Part 2 offers with an allocation of ₹13,050 for producing inexperienced hydrogen from FY26 to FY30.

Total, beneath SIGHT, the entire monetary incentive is ₹17,490 crore and the 2 parts have been launched with the intention of enabling speedy scale-up, know-how growth and price discount. State-run Photo voltaic Vitality Company of India (SECI) is the implementing company. The overarching goal of the mission is to make India the worldwide hub for manufacturing, utilization and export of inexperienced hydrogen and its derivatives.

India’s inexperienced hydrogen manufacturing capability is prone to attain 5 million tonnes (MT) every year, with an related renewable vitality capability addition of about 125 gigawatts (GW), contributing to discount in dependence on import of fossil fuels. Achievement of Mission targets is anticipated to cut back a cumulative ₹1 lakh crore price of fossil gas imports by 2030.

Practically 50 MT every year of CO2 emissions are anticipated to be averted by means of manufacturing and use of the focused quantum of inexperienced hydrogen. In August 2023, the federal government notified the requirements for inexperienced hydrogen, which specifies that the commodity must be produced utilizing renewable vitality and the non-biogenic carbon emissions within the course of shouldn’t be greater than 2 kg CO2 equal per kg of hydrogen.
