World Hydrogen Summit 2025 held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, India highlighted its strategic vision and capabilities in the domain of renewable energy and green hydrogen production.

Green hydrogen It is produced with the help of electrolysis through electricity generated from renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. Hence, statement I is correct. This ensures no greenhouse gas emissions as the only by-product of this process is oxygen, making it a great replacement for carbon-emitting fuels. Hence, statement II is correct. Green Chemicals like ammonia and methanol can directly be utilized in existing applications like fertilizers, mobility, power, chemicals, shipping etc.
Green Hydrogen blending up to 10% may be adopted in CGD networks to gain widespread acceptance. It is a clean-buming molecule, which can decarbonize a range of sectors including iron and steel, chemicals, and transportation. Renewable energy that cannot be stored or used by the grid can be channelled to produce hydrogen.

The implementation of the 'National Green Hydrogen Mission' is expected to get the following outcomes by 2030: Development of green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 MMT (Million Metric Tonne) per annum with an associated renewable energy capacity addition of about 125 GW in the countiy. The targets by 2030 are likely to bring in over Rs. 8 lakh crore investments and create over 6 lakh jobs. Nearly 50 MMT per annum of C02 emissions are expected to be averted by 2030. As per the experts, 'fuel of the future - Green Hydrogen' could supply up to 25% of the world's energy needs by 2050 and become a 10 trillion-dollar addressable market by 2050. The Prime minister has also set a 2047 deadline for becoming self-reliant in energy. The government expects wide-ranging benefits, including the creation of export opportunities for Green Hydrogen and its derivatives. Decarbonization of industrial, mobility, and energy sectors. Reduction in dependence on imported fossil fuels and feedstock. Development of indigenous manufacturing capabilities.

India's Ministiy of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has formally launched the country's green hydrogen certification scheme on 29th April 2025, which will allow producers to prove that their product qualifies as renewable H2 in India.

India's vision to achieve energy independence by 2047 and reach Net Zero emissions by 2070. To drive this transition, the National Green Hydrogen Mission was launched by the Government in 2023, with an initial allocation of USD 2.4 billion. India aims for 1,800 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2047 under its 'Viksit Bharat@2047' vision, as announced by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi.
