India has placed a significant bet on green hydrogen. The Indian government has already committed substantial financial resources, with over Rs 19,000 crores earmarked to transform the nation into a “global hub” for green hydrogen energy production, utilization, and export. However, a recent report by Bengaluru-based think-tank Climate Risk Horizons has raised important questions about the potential environmental impact of India’s green hydrogen initiatives.

In recent years, green hydrogen has staged a remarkable comeback and is emerging as a linchpin in the pursuit of a climate-neutral economy. It promises to play a pivotal role, particularly in addressing emissions in challenging sectors such as transport, heating, and heavy industry, and offers a solution for inter-seasonal energy storage. This resurgence of green hydrogen, driven by both energy security and decarbonization imperatives, is now not only fostering economic opportunities but also birthing a new era of EU-Africa relations.

As the world grapples with the urgent need to decarbonize sectors that have stubbornly resisted green transformation, a new guide from RenewableUK titled “Demystifying the Hydrogen Business Model for Electrolysis” seeks to demystify the intricate workings of the UK Government’s Hydrogen Production Business Model.
