The three main facets of a typical hydrogen ecosystem include demand, supply, and allied bridging technologies. India's progress towards green energy transition aligns with the efforts to bolster the green hydrogen ecosystem. CSTEP is involved in devising hydrogen adoption strategies for hard-to-abate industries such as steel and cement manufacturing units, with few emission reduction opportunities. We are also developing computational tools to identify suitable sites for setting up hydrogen production units based on interdisciplinary frameworks.
How Green Hydrogen Policy Can Lead to India's Energy Import Independence
India has set ambitious medium- and long-term renewable energy targets to counteract the adverse effects of climate change, one of them being the commitment to increase the share of its renewable power capacity to 50% by 2030.
To summarise, it will take more than a shiny day and a multitude of arrayed solar panels for India to be energy-independent without compromising on the quality of life.
