- In a significant move for the progress of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the government has notified the ‘Green Hydrogen Standard for India’.
- Bureau of Energy Efficiency has been made the Nodal Authority for accreditation of agencies for the monitoring, verification and certification for Green Hydrogen production projects .
- The standards issued by the ministry outline the emission thresholds that must be met in order for hydrogen produced to be classified as ‘Green’,e., from renewable sources.
Green Hydrogen
- It is produced using electrolysis of water with electricity generated by renewable energy.
- The carbon intensity ultimately depends on the carbon neutrality of the source of electricity (i.e., the more renewable energy there is in the electricity fuel mix, the “greener” the hydrogen produced).
