“We need to grow in the research and production sector and innovate in the development and manufacture of green hydrogen. Government alone cannot achieve the goal of green energy. To achieve the goal of National Hydrogen Mission, Industry-Academia- Government synergy is very important. We have a huge geographical advantage in terms of different weather systems and topography to realize the green energy mission.”
We are preparing a roadmap for the next 25 years to achieve this goal. He said that energy is an important requirement of our country and Green Hydrogen Mission is an important part of it.
The Health Minister urged the people to work towards making the manufacturing of Green Hydrogen affordable and accessible not only for our country but for the world, with a nation first attitude.
The Centre’s National Hydrogen Mission aims to assist the government in meeting its climate goals and making India a green hydrogen hub. “The world is looking at our Green Hydrogen Policy and we will soon launch the document with details of production, heavy transport logistics industry and shipping. We aim to achieve 500-GW production target capacity of non-fossil fuels by 2030”, said Bhagwant Khuba, Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers.
