Ten steps by NITI Aayog to make India a green hydrogen hub

07 Jul 2022 CW Team

The government think tank NITI Aayog, in collaboration with Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), has proposed ten strategies for India to become the global hub for green hydrogen. If the necessary steps are taken, India is expected to have the world's largest green hydrogen generation capacity of more than 60 GW by 2030. According to reports, NITI Aayog has proposed that 1,000 trucks, 50 boats, and ten aircraft be converted to hydrogen-powered vehicles by 2030. The production of electrolysers in India should aim for a minimum of 25 GW by 2030. Many industries, including iron ore and steel, fertilisers, refineries, methanol, heavy-duty trucking, aviation, and maritime shipping, emit significant amounts of CO2. Providing carbon-free hydrogen (green hydrogen) to these sectors will be critical in enabling deep decarbonisation. Making India a global hub for green hydrogen will aid the country's transition to clean energy and the achievement of net-zero targets by 2070.

Government Cancels Auction Of Eleven Critical Mineral Blocks

The decision represents a setback to plans to ramp up domestic exploration and production of critical minerals amid global supply chain disruptions and rising demand for materials used in clean energy and advanced technologies. The mines ministry issued an annulment notice setting out the reasons for the cancellations. The annulment notice indicated that the auction process for five mineral blocks was canc..

Gujarat Pushes Biogas Growth With 193 Operational Units

Gujarat has operationalised 193 biogas plants across the state and is planning to add 60 more units as part of a broader push to scale up clean and sustainable energy solutions. The existing plants, established under various government-supported schemes, process organic waste including cattle dung and agricultural residue to produce biogas and a nutrient-rich slurry. The output is mainly used for cooking and other energy needs in rural and semi-urban communities, while also improving local waste management practices. The Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) is leading the initiative and is..
