Green Hydrogen & LNG Logistics
India’s green hydrogen story formally kickstarted with the announcement of the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) in January 2023 with the grand objective of making India the global hub for producing, consuming and exporting green hydrogen and its derivatives. With a Target to produce 5 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of green hydrogen by 2030, with further ambition to produce 10mmtpa towards development of export markets.
The Indian government followed this with a supply-side incentive program, Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT), under the NHGM, in June 2023 with an outlay of Rs174.9 billion (US$2,098.8 million). The SIGHT program had two distinct financial incentive mechanisms to support the domestic manufacturing of electrolysers and the production of green hydrogen.
The journey so far
Supply Chain Challenges
Infrastructure Gaps
There is a lack of dedicated infrastructure.
Technological Barriers
Advanced technologies for efficient hydrogen production and Distribution
Navigating the complex regulatory landscape and ensuring compliance can be challenging.
Regulatory Hurdles
Market Demand
Creating a stable market demand for green hydrogen is essential.
Supply Chain Integration
Integrating green hydrogen into existing supply chains requires investment and coordination
High Production Costs
Green hydrogen production is expensive.
India faces a significant knowledge gap in handling and logistics for green hydrogen, impacting its effective deployment.
The complexities of production, storage, and transportation, especially maintaining cryogenic temperatures and ensuring safety, are not fully understood or developed. Limited expertise in logistics and insufficient infrastructure further complicate the situation.
