Green Hydrogen and its challenges
Green Hydrogen / Green Ammonia policy
- Hydrogen and Ammonia - future fuels
- National Hydrogen Mission, 2021 - produce 5mn tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030
- waiver of Inter State transmission charges for 25 years for projects commenced before 30 June, 2025

Disparity between Green Hydrogen and Traditional grey / blue Hydrogen
The substantial disparity between green hydrogen production costs (6.70 per kg) and traditional grey/blue production costs (2.4 per kg).
Global efforts
United Kingdom’s Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard Certification provides a model for building market confidence.
The strategic hydrogen hubs in the United States of America, Japan, and Australia
Rather than letting infrastructure follow demand, these nations are fostering integrated ecosystems where infrastructure, production, innovation, and consumption co-evolve.
Key trade corridors, such as the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain Project between Australia and Japan
Ideas to derisk and attract investments
Create “regulatory sandboxes” that allow for rapid experimentation with novel business models while maintaining safety standards.
Establishing standardised carbon intensity and hydrogen origin certification can facilitate exports and bolster trust.
