Introduction
The world is in a unique and necessary phase of energy transition, where emerging low-carbon technologies are replacing existing fossil fuel assets and are shaping a
new energy paradigm. Rise of technologies such as solar and wind, lithium-ion batteries, and alternative fuels have paved the way for decarbonization in various end-use sectors. However, there are certain sectors like industry and heavy transport that are hard to decarbonize using the current low- or zero-carbon technologies. Hydrogen promises to address those challenges and contribute to
the decarbonization of these hard-to-abate sectors.New Delhi: Green hydrogen is one of the most recent additions to the list of cle.
European Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson and India’s Minister for Power and Renewable Energy R K Singh Thursday inaugurated the first EU-India Green Hydrogen Forum.
Commissioner Simson stressed that the European Union would be keen to explore with financing partners the possibility of building a pipeline of hydrogen projects in India, leveraging private sector investments in innovative technology under the framework of EU Global Gateway initiative.
The EU and India have set ambitious programmes and targets for wider adoption of green hydrogen. While India announced its National Hydrogen Mission last year, the EU launched the European Hydrogen Strategy in 2020.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has accelerated the implementation of EU Green Deal policies, including on hydrogen. The targets set by the Hydrogen Strategy have been further raised by the REPowerEU plan: the grouping is now targeting the production of one million tonnes of renewable hydrogen by 2024, and 20 million tonnes by 2030.
