Uttar Pradesh Targets Green Hydrogen Surge

20 Sep 2024 CW Team

Uttar Pradesh has set an ambitious target to produce 1 million metric tonnes of Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia annually by 2029, aiming to secure a leadership position in the renewable energy sector. The state government has already received investment proposals worth ?1.15 lakh crore from 17 entities, promising to create around 20,000 jobs across the region. Among the notable investors, UK-based Trafalgar Square Capital plans to establish a 10,000-tonne-per-year green hydrogen production facility near Lucknow. Additionally, Welspun Group will invest ?40,000 crore in Bulandshahr for a Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia plant, while Hygenco Green Energies Pvt Ltd is setting up a 0.2 million-tonne green hydrogen facility in Prayagraj with an investment of ?16,000 crore.

Anupam Shukla, Director of UPNEDA, emphasized that the state’s initial focus would be the use of hydrogen in nitrogenous fertilizers and refineries. Future plans involve expanding green hydrogen applications in other emerging industries aligned with India's National Green Hydrogen Mission.

The state government has launched the ‘Uttar Pradesh Green Hydrogen Policy 2024,’ offering administrative and financial incentives to accelerate green hydrogen and ammonia production. This move supports India’s decarbonization strategy, particularly in the chemicals and fertilizers sectors, and contributes to the country’s broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. The government is also promoting industrial infrastructure development for green hydrogen production, coupled with regulatory reforms and a single-window clearance facility to enhance ease of doing business.
