Green Hydrogen
Production, Technology, and India's Mission
Green hydrogen is produced by splitting water through electrolysis powered by renewable energy (solar or wind), resulting in zero carbon emissions (unlike grey hydrogen from natural gas or blue hydrogen with carbon capture). India's National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), launched in January 2023 with a budget of ₹19,744 crore, targets producing 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of green hydrogen annually by 2030.
- NGHM budget: ₹19,744 crore (2023–2030); nodal ministry: Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)
- Production target: 5 MMT/year by 2030; current production: negligible at commercial scale
- Electrolyser capacity target: 60–100 GW by 2030
- SIGHT scheme (Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition): Provides incentives for electrolyser manufacturing and green hydrogen production
- NTPC Green Energy: Subsidiary of NTPC Ltd; mandated to develop 60 GW renewable energy by 2032
- Honeywell's eFining™: Technology that converts renewable feedstocks (green hydrogen + CO2) into SAF and other clean fuels
