NEW DELHI\/ MUMBAI, May 4, 2021: India H2 Alliance (\u201cIH2A\u201d), the industry-led energy transition coalition, has submitted a six-point agenda to the Government of India for creating a domestic \u2018Bharat H2\u2019 supply chain and to build hydrogen systems at scale. The submission was made jointly by IH2A Steering Committee co-leads, Chart Industries and Reliance Industries, to the NITI Aayog and Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IH2A recommendations to the Government of India covers the following six points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The Government of India should immediately constitute a Public-Private Bharat H2 Taskforce<\/strong> to prepare a milestone-based national hydrogen roadmap and build a hydrogen economy at scale.<\/li>
  2. The Bharat H2 Taskforce and roadmap should aim to tap India\u2019s potential to create a national electrolyser installed capacity of 15-20 GW<\/strong> and promote domestic manufacturing through a National Electrolyser Manufacturing Mission<\/strong>, aligned with the government\u2019s FAME II Scheme.<\/li>
  3. India should create a national H2-themed Energy Transition Fund<\/strong>, with co-funding partnerships with sovereign partners, multi-lateral agencies, clean energy funds and industry, with the aim to raise USD 1 bn by 2030<\/strong> for deployment towards national hydrogen projects of a certain scale.<\/li>
  4. A uniform set of globally harmonised and inter-operable Bharat H2 standards for hydrogen storage, transport and dispensation<\/strong> need to be finalized quickly, so that hydrogen adoption is accelerated across different sectors and use-cases.<\/li>
  5. India should prioritise pre-feasibility studies of at least 10 national Bharat H2 Hydrogen Valleys or H2 Hubs<\/strong> \u2013 large-scale demonstration stage projects with participation from industry consortia, incentives and off-take agreements guaranteed by the government.<\/li>
  6. India should form a Bharat H2 Industrial Group<\/strong> to leverage hydrogen for de-carbonisation efforts in steel, refineries, fertilizers and cement industrial clusters, and a separate Bharat H2 Heavy-Duty Freight Transport Group<\/strong> for hydrogen commercialisation in railways, trucking, and shipping, recognizing the different hydrogen infrastructure requirements in both groups.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Commenting on the recommendations made by IH2A to the Government of India, Jillian Evanko, CEO and President of Chart Industries (NYSE: GTLS), said<\/strong>, \u201cBuilding a domestic \u2018Make in India\u2019 hydrogen supply chain will require a set of concerted actions to build hydrogen systems at scale. The first step would be to create a public-private hydrogen taskforce that sets the right national ambition and scale. A national electrolyser manufacturing mission and ten Hydrogen Valley projects by 2030 will bring India within the global hydrogen value-chain. Funding will remain a challenge and India should prioritise the creation of a dedicated national Hydrogen Fund to address part of this challenge.\u201d IH2A was recently launched as a new energy transition coalition, to support commercialization of hydrogen technologies and systems to build net-zero carbon pathways in India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
