In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, India has set a goal of establishing green hydrogen bunkering and refuelling facilities at major ports by the year 2035, according to guidelines released by the shipping ministry.

India is one of the top producers of greenhouse gases in the world, and the shipping minister announced that three of its ports would initially have bunker facilities for green hydrogen and ammonia. India wants to reduce emissions to zero by 2070.

According to Sarbananda Sonowal , Shipping Minister, "Our goal is to cover all 12 major parts with a green hydrogen bunkering facility by 2035.

Paradip in the east, Kandla in the west, and Tuticorin in the south will serve as the effort's initial ports.

The funding needed to make these ports green ports is being considered, Sonowal continued. In addition to the 12 major ports, there are more than 200 ports along India's 7,500 km (4,660 miles) of coastline, which combined account for 65% of the country's total value and 95% of its volume of trade.

Authorities want to replace diesel with electricity for at least half of the vehicles and equipment needed by major ports by 2030, and to increase that number to 90% by 2047.

India would need to source at least 40% of its electricity from renewable sources in order to reach the net-zero target.
