Renewable Hydrogen Production India – Hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
Renewable hydrogen production in India, by definition, is Green Hydrogen produced via electrolysis powered by renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro). India possesses a significant advantage in this area due to its vast, low-cost renewable energy potential, particularly solar, which is essential for maximizing electrolyzer utilization.
The current production is largely concentrated in commissioned pilot and demonstration plants by PSUs and private companies (e.g., GAIL, BPCL, ACME, Adani) with capacities ranging from a few kilograms to a few tonnes per day. Scaling up production to meet the 5 MMT target requires the installation of an additional 125 GW of dedicated renewable energy capacity. The focus is on ensuring round-the-clock (RTC) renewable power supply through hybrid renewable systems and integrating battery energy storage systems (BESS) to optimize the efficiency and capacity utilization factor of the electrolyzers, thus driving down the final cost of hydrogen.
