6th Edition Conference – Green Hydrogen in India – 11.-12. Sept. 2023

Mission

• The National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched in early 2023, with an initial budget outlay of Rs 197,440 million
  and a target to scale-up the country’s annual green hydrogen production capacities to at least 5 million metric tonnes
  per annum by 2030. This comprehensive mission document provides a clear roadmap for green hydrogen development,
  and has provided much confidence and visibility to this emerging green hydrogen sector.
• The extension on the complete waiver of ISTS charges for green hydrogen production projects till 2030, followed by graded charges thereafter, has given a further boost to the sector.
• Many collaborations have been announced among large industries and developers, and companies operating in the oil and gas, steel, chemicals, fertilisers, cement and transport spaces are keenly exploring this space. Green hydrogen hubs are being planned in various states to cater to both the domestic and export markets. Meanwhile, there are plans to incentivise domestic manufacturing of electrolysers, with manufacturers awaiting interventions such as a production-linked incentive scheme.
• While the stage is set for massive green hydrogen uptake, there are barriers and uncertainties regarding expected demand, offtake arrangements, standards and cost economics.
• This two-day conference aims to highlight the trends, early lessons, market potential, emerging applications and plans of various stakeholders in the green hydrogen space. This event will bring together policymakers, regulators, state agencies, renewable energy developers, large industrial consumers, oil and gas companies, electrolyser manufacturers, technology providers, researchers, consultants, legal firms and investors to share their perspectives
