Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi inaugurated the first Green Hydrogen R&D Conference in New Delhi and launched a ₹100 crore Call for Proposals to support start-ups developing hydrogen technologies. The scheme will provide up to ₹5 crore per project for innovations in hydrogen production, storage, transportation and utilisation. The two-day conference,...

The cost advantage of cheap Chinese electrolysers reduces significantly when systems are installed outside of the country, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).When manufactured and installed domestically, the electrolysers are much cheaper, ranging from $600-1,200/kW. But once transport, tariffs, local engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) costs are added, the real installed...

Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Shri Pralhad Joshi, today inaugurated the 1st Annual Green Hydrogen R&D Conference in New Delhi, organised by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). He also launched a new Rs 1 billion Call for Proposals to support start-ups working on hydrogen innovations. The scheme will provide up to Rs 50 million per project for pilot initiatives in hydrogen...

Asian country has announced plans to invest more than $25bn in green hydrogen.Indonesia’s state-backed Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE) has begun building a pilot plant to produce green hydrogen at its Ulubelu site in Sumatra. The facility, designed to generate around 100 kilograms a day, will use anion exchange membrane electrolysis with reported efficiencies of 82–88%. PGE has not disclosed the...

Credit: Canva The global hydrogen sector continues to expand, but cost gaps, infrastructure barriers, and uneven deployment remain significant challenges, according to IEA’s Global Hydrogen Review 2025. While global hydrogen demand reached nearly 100 million tonnes in 2024, low-emissions hydrogen accounts for less than 1% of total supply, despite...

2025-09-12T07:28:00 The Port of Alicante, Spain has taken a significant step toward its sustainability goals with the launch of a preliminary market consultation for the future concession of a green hydrogen production plant The initiative, named PORTALI-H2, forms part of the port’s broader strategy to become a leading...

Representation image The cost of producing green hydrogen in India has been steadily declining, and it is projected to touch $2 per kilogram by 2032, according to Abhay Bakre, Director of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The milestone is expected to play a pivotal role in decarbonising India’s steel sector, which currently relies heavily on fossil fuels. Decarbonising...

Green hydrogen, touted by advocates including mining billionaire Andrew Forrest as the best way to decarbonise many industries, still accounts for less than 1 per cent of total hydrogen production and has become more expensive compared with the fossil fuel version.The International Energy Agency has slashed its estimate of potential low-emissions hydrogen output in 2030 by a quarter to 37 million tonnes...

SUMMARY The Centre will offer up to INR 5 Cr for pilot projects in areas such as hydrogen production, storage, transport and utilisation Minister Pralhad Joshi said that the broader NGHM will pave the way for producing 5 Mn metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually, create 6 Lakh new jobs Joshi also noted that homegrown startups and other private enterprises are investing heavily in...

Globally, in all discussions concerning energy and environmental issues, there is a broad consensus that the ultimate solution lies in augmenting renewable energy production capacity and developing eco-friendly, green projects such as green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green methanol as rapidly as possible. The expectation is that such projects will help reduce harmful emissions,...
