Guwahati: The Indian government has issued guidelines for funding testing facilities, infrastructure, and institutional support under the National Green Hydrogen Mission.
The guidelines aim to identify gaps in existing testing facilities for components, technologies, and processes in the value chain of green hydrogen and its derivatives. The scheme will support the creation of new testing facilities and the upgradation of existing facilities to ensure safe and secure operations.
The National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) will be the Scheme Implementation Agency (SIA). The scheme aims to develop robust quality and performance testing facilities to ensure quality, sustainability, and safety in GH2 production and trade, the government said in a release.
Launched on January 4, 2023, with an outlay of Rs. 19,744 crores up to FY 2029-30, the mission aims to contribute to India's goal of becoming self-reliant through clean energy and serve as an inspiration for the global Clean Energy Transition.
It will lead to significant decarbonization of the economy, reduced dependence on fossil fuel imports, and enable India to assume technology and market leadership in Green Hydrogen.
