The country aims to be among the world's largest Green Hydrogen hubs and has plan for using the same across the sectors. It can also provide India the energy security by reducing the ever-increasing energy import bill and a pathway to green alternative for "hard-to-abate" industries, like refineries, fertilisers, steel, and transport.Green Hydrogen demand in India is estimated to grow up to 2 MMTPA by 2030 in line with the nation's Green Hydrogen Mission, which would call for investments upward of $60 billion.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
