Committed to a Bharat Hydrogen Roadmap
Strategic Intent
India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A) is an industry-led coalition that works together with policy makers, industry players, energy-sector experts, research agencies, think-tanks, and the media, to support concerted public policy and private sector actions to developing the hydrogen economy and a domestic hydrogen supply chain in India.
IH2A is committed to the creation of a national ‘Bharat H2’ roadmap and implementation plan, aligning it to the national renewable and electric vehicles plans to meet India’s energy transition and net-zero carbon pathway.
Governance
Member-driven coalition
IH2A is a member-driven coalition, without legal entity, led by a Steering Group and Work Group leads. Chart Industries, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and JSW Steel are the IH2A Steering Group members. IH2A’s public position on the development of a domestic hydrogen supply chain is articulated by its Steering Group and six Workgroups that focus on the hydrogen supply chain and use-cases for hydrogen.
Open platform
Application for IH2A membership is open to all parties. Final decision on membership is made by the Steering Group, based on alignment of prospective members with the stated strategic intent. Prospective members must agree to accept the IH2A governance charter as a necessary condition for membership. The IH2A governance charter details out compliance, ethical, IP protection and competition-related policies and principles that is required to be followed by all members during conduct of IH2A matters.
