India has set up its pavilion at the 2024 World Hydrogen Summit.
World Hydrogen Summit 2024 is being held from May 13–15 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The India Pavilion stands as one of the largest at the event. It is being organized by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
India launched its National Green Hydrogen Mission in January 2023 with an outlay of Rs 19,744 crore.
Its main aim is to achieve a green hydrogen production capacity of 5 million tonnes by the end of 2030.
Apart from the Green Hydrogen Mission, scheme guidelines have been notified for utilizing green hydrogen in key sectors such as steel, transportation, and shipping.
To foster innovation and promote the Green Hydrogen ecosystem in India, the Department of Science and Technology has initiated Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters.
At present, 44 per cent of India’s energy needs are met by non-fossil sources. It will surge to around 65 per cent by 2030.
