IH2A to accelerate commercialization of green hydrogen in India

The India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A), an industry-led coalition by global industrial and energy majors, has come up with a plan to develop first-generation green hydrogen projects to accelerate hydrogen commercialisation over the next three years.

IH2A’s plan recommended building at least 25 scalable hydrogen projects by 2025, including 12 industrial decarbonisation projects, three heavy-duty transport projects, three H2 blending in city gas distribution (CGD) projects and seven distributed waste-to-H2 municipal projects.

The 25/25 National Green Hydrogen Hub Development Plan proposes establishing 25 National Green Hydrogen Projects and five national H2 hubs with public financial support of $360 million by 2025.

Multi-sectoral demand for green hydrogen can be produced at the five National Green Hubs, clustering the 25 projects, in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh, according to the plan.
