SECI Announces Green Hydrogen Tender

12 Jul 2024 CW Team

SECI's Green Hydrogen Tranche-II tender is designed to attract investments and partnerships in the green hydrogen sector. The tender aims to promote the development of green hydrogen projects across the country, leveraging India's vast renewable energy resources. This move aligns with the government's National Hydrogen Mission, which focuses on creating a sustainable hydrogen economy and reducing carbon emissions.

The tender seeks proposals from companies and consortiums capable of establishing large-scale green hydrogen production facilities. These facilities will utilize renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power to produce hydrogen through electrolysis, a process that splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. By using renewable energy, the hydrogen produced will be entirely green, contributing to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

SECI's initiative is expected to drive technological innovation and cost reductions in green hydrogen production. The tender includes provisions for financial incentives, policy support, and infrastructure development to encourage participation from both domestic and international players. This approach aims to create a competitive market environment that fosters rapid growth and development in the green hydrogen sector.

The Green Hydrogen Tranche-II tender is a critical component of India's strategy to decarbonize its energy system and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Green hydrogen has the potential to play a vital role in various industries, including transportation, manufacturing, and power generation, by providing a clean and sustainable energy source.

By issuing this tender, SECI is taking a proactive role in shaping the future of green hydrogen in India. The successful implementation of these projects will contribute to India's energy transition, support economic growth, and enhance energy security while addressing the pressing challenge of climate change.
