India Launches Green Hydrogen Pilot Projects to Achieve 8 Million Ton Target by 2030
India strives to achieve 8 million tons of green hydrogen capacity by 2030. It has started several pilot projects, as announced by the Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Power R.K. Singh to the Rajya Sabha. These pilot projects include a Green Hydrogen production of 5 Nm3/h (standard cubic meter per hour) project based on solar energy and electrolysis in Green hydrogen production of 6 kg per hour in Gurugram, Haryana project based on biomass gasification in IISc Bangalore. These projects are part of the ministry’s research and development segment, aiming to increase the limited production of green hydrogen in India. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, approved by the Union Cabinet earlier this year, will aid in creating demand, production, utilization, and export of green hydrogen with an initial outlay of ₹197.4 billion (~$2.39 billion).

The Green Hydrogen Mission
They were establishing an Ecosystem for Affordable and Accessible Production Technology. Other pilot projects for green hydrogen production in India are underway, as revealed by the Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Power R.K. Singh to Parliament. These projects include the country’s only pure green hydrogen pilot plant, with a capacity of 10 kg per day, commissioned by Oil India in Jorhat Pump Station, Assam, and India’s first green hydrogen blending project in the piped natural gas network of NTPC Kawa’s township in Surat, Gujarat, commissioned by NTPC and Gujarat Gas.

- Plan to produce 10 Kg per day
- By oil India in Jorhat pump Stations
- Gujarat is the first green hydrogen blending project
India's Pilot Green Hydrogen Projects: ACME's Green Ammonia Project and More
ACME has initiated a green ammonia project in Bikaner, Rajasthan, as part of India's plan to produce green hydrogen at a rate of 500 Nm3/h or approximately 175 tons per annum. These pilot projects, including Larsen and Toubro's green hydrogen facility at its AM Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, Gujarat, and the NTPC-Gujarat Gas green hydrogen blending project, have not received any subsidies from the Indian government, according to the Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy R.K. Singh.
