The global green hydrogen market is propelled by favorable government initiatives and policies aimed at decreasing carbon release and advancing renewable energy sources. With countries committing to net-zero carbon targets, the demand for green hydrogen is accelerating as it serves as a clean alternative to fossil fuels in hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as steel production, transportation, and chemical industries. Along with this, significant advancements in electrolyzer technology and declining costs of renewable energy, such as solar and wind, are also making green hydrogen more economically viable. Moreover, strategic investments by private and public entities in research, development, and infrastructure projects are escalating the adoption of green hydrogen solutions worldwide. On February 14, 2024, the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), India, released scheme guidelines to facilitate pilot projects for the use of green hydrogen as fuel in buses, trucks, and four-wheelers under National Green Hydrogen Mission. The total budgetary outlay under this scheme would be Rs 496 crore till the financial year 2025-26. 

In addition to this, the growing emphasis on energy security and diversification of energy resources is significantly supporting the market. Green hydrogen offers a reliable energy storage solution that complements intermittent renewable energy sources, addressing grid stability challenges. Thus, this is providing an impetus to the market. On 25th October 2024, NTPC partnered with the Indian Army to establish a 200kW Solar Hydrogen-based Microgrid in Chushul, Ladakh, at 4,400 meters altitude. Designed for year-round operation in harsh -30°C winters, this innovative system replaces diesel gensets, ensuring sustainable power for off-grid Army locations. NTPC will maintain the project for 25 years, supporting clean energy adoption and reducing carbon emissions. The scope of the market is further expanded by the possibility of green hydrogen being used as a feedstock for ammonia and methanol, especially in industrial applications. Besides this, the development of strategic international partnerships for hydrogen trade and hydrogen hubs are also driving the growth of the market. This shift is in line with global sustainability goals, which promote innovation and create a favorable environment for long-term investment in green hydrogen technologies.
