Niti Aayog bats for setting up of green hydrogen corridors

Green hydrogen can help India significantly reduce its dependence on imported fuel and, hence, inter-ministerial interventions are required to promote the production and the usage of green hydrogen, according to Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog.

The facility believes there is a need to facilitate investment through demand aggregation and dollar-based bidding for green hydrogen.

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using renewable energy or from biomass.
