See green hydrogen as a path to the future: Hardeep Puri

Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Puri sees green hydrogen as a path to the future. Puri was speaking at a panel discussion at the US India Business Council meeting in New Delhi.

“I am wedded to the movement away from fossil fuels, and see green hydrogen as a path to the future. We need to have clean and cheap solar energy,” Puri said.

The petroleum minister also pointed out that India buys $20 billion worth of energy from the United States and the two countries have put forth green hydrogen as a priority in the energy partnership. Puri also stressed that the potential for bilateral engagement between India and the US will increase even if geopolitical conflict increases.
