In a significant step toward advancing India's sustainable energy agenda, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has notified new standards for Green Methanol and Green Ammonia. These standards, issued via Office Memorandums dated today, align with the National Green Hydrogen Mission approved by the Government of India. They aim to promote the production and use of low-emission derivatives of Green Hydrogen, fostering innovation in renewable energy sectors and suppor

India has taken a decisive step toward decarbonizing one of its most emission‑intensive sectors with the release of a major Expression of Interest (EoI) inviting pilot projects that integrate green hydrogen into steel production. Issued by MECON Limited on behalf of the Ministry of Steel (MoS) and the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), the EoI marks a pivotal moment under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. Dated 19 January 2026  (EoI No. 11.51.91C0/EOI/Hydrogen/02 )

India’s latest price discovery under SIGHT Mode 2B has delivered one of the lowest green hydrogen prices globally, with bids reaching as low as Rs 279 per kg. At a time when comparable international prices in Europe remain in the €5–8 per kg range and even advanced markets like the United States hover around $3–6 per kg, India’s ability to achieve sub‑$3.1 per kg firmly establishes its cost leadership. This achievement reflects the strength of India’s renewable energy ecosyst

India's pursuit of green hydrogen as a cornerstone of its energy transition represents one of the most ambitious clean energy initiatives globally. Launched in January 2023, the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) aims to establish India as a hub for green hydrogen production, utilization, and export, with a target of 5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) by 2030. This would require an additional 125 GW of renewable energy capacity, attract over ₹8 lakh crore in invest

India took significant strides in its green hydrogen journey yesterday with two landmark agreements involving German partners, reinforcing its position as an emerging powerhouse in sustainable energy production, export, and infrastructure development. These moves align with the National Green Hydrogen Mission's goals of achieving 5 million tonnes of annual production by 2030, fostering energy security, job creation, and emissions reductions while positioning India as a key su

Green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis using renewable energy, requires efficient storage to address its low density and intermittency challenges. As of 2026, storage methods have advanced significantly, focusing on scalability, safety, and cost reduction to support global decarbonization. Key technologies balance energy density, efficiency, and infrastructure compatibility, with innovations driven by materials science and AI. Below, we outline the primary methods, includi

Green hydrogen, produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources like solar or wind, represents a cornerstone of the global energy transition. Unlike "grey" hydrogen derived from fossil fuels, green hydrogen emits no carbon dioxide during production, making it a vital tool for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry, transportation, and power generation. As of January 2026, the sector is at a pivotal juncture. After years of hype an

In 2026, green hydrogen—produced through electrolysis using renewable energy sources like solar and wind—stands at the forefront of the energy transition. As nations strive for net-zero emissions, these projects represent massive investments in clean fuel production, often aimed at exporting hydrogen or derivatives like green ammonia for industrial use, transportation, and power generation. Drawing from recent industry reports and databases, here are the top 10 largest green

Harnessing hydrogen's promise: India's blueprint for energy independence and export dominance in a decarbonizing world. – Ajay Mishra, DG, RESI As we enter 2026, India's National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), launched three years ago with a ₹19,744 crore commitment, stands as a beacon of strategic foresight amid a global hydrogen sector grappling with recalibration. While the international market faces headwinds—investments pivoting from Europe's stringent regulations, as no

Green hydrogen, produced via electrolysis using renewable energy, is pivotal for decarbonizing industries such as steel, chemicals, and transportation. However, its global adoption hinges on standardized definitions, emissions thresholds, and certification processes to ensure environmental integrity, facilitate trade, and attract investments. This revised note provides a comprehensive understanding of available international and regional standards as of early 2026, incorporat

Have you heard about green hydrogen and wondered how it's actually made? At the heart of it all is something called an electrolyzer. It's like a magical machine that turns water and electricity into clean fuel. In this article, we'll break down electrolyzer technology in simple terms – no engineering degree required! We'll cover what it is, how it works, the different types, their pros and cons, where they're used, and what the future looks like. By the end, you'll understand
