The project will be implemented in phases, the first of which will be a pilot phase to produce 20,000 tonnes of green hydrogen, along with derivatives, annually.
India is doing a lot for clean energy but needs to turbocharge the sector, says Sumant Sinha
“Green hydrogen is going to be a more global business, a tradable business, so we are looking at opportunities for setting up green hydrogen hubs both in India as well as overseas,” Chairman Sumant Sinha said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
During January-September 2022, the energy storage segment garnered $22 billion funding through 92 deals. This is 69 percent higher compared to the $13 billion raised in 74 deals in the year-ago period.

The three companies announced the setting up of a joint venture that will focus on developing green hydrogen projects on April 4.
IOCL and L&T have also signed a binding term sheet to form another joint venture with equity participation to manufacture and sell electrolyzers used in the production of green hydrogen.
ReNew aims to develop around 250 megawatts (MW) of wind-solar hybrid projects in Gujarat for the C&I consumers, just as it has done at Vilayat in Bharuch.
The first phase of the hybrid project, with 17.6 MW commercial-scale wind-solar, commenced operations last week and is expected to generate 80 million units of renewable energy every year, mitigating 75,000 tCO2e (carbon emissions) annually, the company said in a statement.
ReNew Power's shares have lost a third of their value since the SPAC deal in August 2021
