The Government of India has approved a issued new scheme implementation guidelines to promote the production and utilization of green hydrogen through innovative methods and pathways. The scheme guidelines aim to explore and validate the potential of green hydrogen as a clean and sustainable energy source. This scheme was issued on November 8, 2024.
This scheme guidelines are titled Scheme Guidelines for implementation of Pilot projects for production and use of Green Hydrogen using innovative methods/pathways in the Residential, Commercial, Localized Community, Decentralized/Non- Conventional, applications, including any new sector or technology not covered in previous Mission schemes
Key Objectives of the Scheme
- Support the development of innovative technologies for green hydrogen production, including methods like floating solar-based hydrogen production and biomass-based hydrogen production.
- Promote the use of green hydrogen and its derivatives as a fuel for decentralized applications such as cooking, heating, off-grid electricity generation, and off-road vehicles.
- Validate the technical feasibility and performance of green hydrogen in various applications, including household, commercial, and community settings.
- Ensure the safe and secure use of green hydrogen and its derivatives.
The expenditure for the scheme will be met from the budget provisions allocated to the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
