Green Hydrogen Growth: Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat to Lead

India?s green hydrogen sector is set for rapid growth, with Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat emerging as leaders. These states are expected to spearhead the country's green hydrogen push, powered by large-scale investments in renewable energy infrastructure, including 40 GW of battery storage and 90 GW of pumped hydro storage capacity. These efforts are crucial to India's ambitious green hydrogen mission, which aims to reduce the nation's reliance on fossil fuels and promote cleaner energy alternatives.

Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat have been strategically identified due to their favourable renewable energy landscapes, abundant solar and wind resources, and proximity to industrial hubs. The new capacities will support not only green hydrogen production but also ensure a steady energy supply for the country's growing energy demands.

The development of large-scale battery and pumped storage facilities will play a pivotal role in stabilising the energy grid and storing excess renewable energy, crucial for green hydrogen projects. This initiative aligns with India's long-term goal to position itself as a global leader in green hydrogen technology and production.

As part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the investments in these states are expected to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and enhance the country?s energy security, further advancing India's transition to sustainable and renewable energy solutions.

The 14th RAHSTA Expo, part of the India Construction Festival, will be held on October 9 and 10, 2024, at the Jio Convention Centre in Mumbai. For more details, visit: https://rahstaexpo.com

Land conflicts, population density hinder India's renewable energy goals

A recent report by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) suggests that India’s renewable energy (RE) capacity could theoretically surpass 24,000 gigawatts (GW), though achieving just a portion of this—approximately 7,000 GW needed for net-zero emissions by 2070—will be challenging. The obstacles stem from issues related to land and water availability, as well as population density. The report, titled "Unlocking India’s Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen Potential: An Assessment of Land, Water, and Climate Nexus," highlights major challenges as India aims to grow from it..
