- Green Hydrogen is the hydrogen produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen (electrolysis) using renewable energy.
- About NGHM
- Period: FY 2023-24 to FY 2029-30.
- Objective: To make India a Global Hub for producing, utilizing, and exporting Green Hydrogen and its derivatives.
- Mission Sub Components: Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) Program, Green Hydrogen Hubs, R&D programme, Skill Development and others.
- Guidelines for different sub-components of NGHM:
- Green Hydrogen Hubs: Aims to set up at least two hubs by FY2025-26, with support for development of core infrastructure at hubs.
- Hydrogen hub is an identified geographical region with network of hydrogen producers, end use with sufficient infrastructure for storage, processing and transportation.
- Skilling, up-skilling and re-skilling: Through Short Term Training (STT), Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), and creating Centres of Excellence.
- SIGHT Program - Component I: Incentive Scheme for Electrolyzer Manufacturing: To provide support for electrolyser manufacturing.
- Implementation by MNRE through Solar Energy Corporation of India.
- SIGHT component II deals with incentives on production of green hydrogen.
- R&D Scheme: R&D support for hydrogen production, storage, compression, transportation, utilization etc. till FY2025-26.
- Green Hydrogen Hubs: Aims to set up at least two hubs by FY2025-26, with support for development of core infrastructure at hubs.
