As India aims to become energy independent by the year 2047, Himachal Pradesh is taking a lead in the country’s clean energy transition by contemplating a ‘Green Hydrogen’ policy that would promote the use of green hydrogen and establish the hill state as a leading hub for its production.
Increasing renewable energy use across all economic spheres is central to the country’s energy transition, and ‘Green Hydrogen’ is considered a promising alternative for enabling this transition. Hydrogen can be utilised for long-duration storage of renewable energy, replacement of fossil fuels in industry, clean transportation, and potentially also for decentralised power generation, aviation, and marine transport.
