Abstract
Hydrogen energy offers India a transformative opportunity to achieve energy security, reduce carbon emissions, and foster economic growth. As a clean and versatile energy carrier, hydrogen can decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, cement, heavy transport, and power generation. India's abundant renewable energy resources, particularly solar and wind, make it well-suited to produce green hydrogen, positioning the country as a global leader in the hydrogen economy. Recent government initiatives, including the National Hydrogen Mission, highlight India’s commitment to scaling up hydrogen production, creating demand, and building infrastructure.
However, challenges such as high production costs, technological gaps, and the need for efficient storage and transport must be addressed through targeted investments, policy support, and public-private partnerships. Developing hydrogen hubs, promoting R&D, and fostering international collaboration are essential steps. By capitalizing on its renewable potential and aligning efforts across stakeholders, India can chart a sustainable path forward, driving economic and environmental progress. The rapid acceleration and intensification of climate change due to pollution have reached critical levels, necessitating an urgent shift towards sustainable energy sources to preserve a cleaner environment. Green hydrogen, known for its complete absence of carbon emissions, emerges as one of the most environmentally friendly fuels, offering a ray of hope against climate change. This review centres on India's commitment to sustainability, specifically the National Green Hydrogen Mission 2023, and explores various government and private sector green hydrogen initiatives. The geography of India is such that various areas have the plenty of sources of renewable energy, it has got the potential, for instance strong wind speeds and solar energy. The study delves into India's innovative efforts in the green hydrogen energy sector, seeking to identify positive, well-balanced solutions for the future of cleaner hydrogen fuel, as green hydrogen generation and distribution can easily be facilitated by various parts of India. India can be major player of Hydrogen energy in the international market with the right roadmap and government favourable policies and regulations. Making the earth free from pollution the integration of world hydrogen committee is needed.
