Indian government pushes green ports with renewable energy, hydrogen hubs
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that India’s Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has stepped up efforts to develop green ports and sustainable maritime infrastructure through a series of initiatives aimed at reducing emissions and promoting clean energy.
These measures include the rollout of the Green Tug Transition Program, which focuses on replacing conventional diesel-powered tugs with electric or hybrid ones. The ministry is also promoting the use of renewable energy at ports, electrification of equipment and vehicles, deployment of zero-emission trucks, and installation of shore-to-ship power systems under the Maritime India Vision 2030 and ‘Harit Sagar’ guidelines, according to the report.
In a related move, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has identified three major ports—Deendayal Port Authority in Gujarat, Paradip Port Authority in Odisha, and V.O. Chidambaranar Port Authority in Tamil Nadu—as Green Hydrogen Hubs to support the country’s green hydrogen ecosystem under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
