In India, DeshGujarat reported that the Gujarat government has rolled out its Green Hydrogen Policy, aiming to position the India state as a leading hub for green hydrogen production and accelerate the transition toward clean energy-driven industrial growth.
The policy outlines plans to develop 3 million tons per annum (MTPA) of green hydrogen production capacity. This will be supported by the creation of 30 GW of electrolyzer capacity and 75 GW of renewable energy capacity, forming an integrated value chain to support industrial decarbonization and green fuel production, according to the report.
One of the objectives of the policy is also to reduce, at least, 2 MMTPA of natural gas consumption through the adoption of green hydrogen and eliminate 5 MMTPA of CO emissions within the state, it added.
The policy defines eligibility criteria for developers and projects and introduces a structured selection process, including competitive bidding and approvals.
