3. Green Hydrogen Policy

Growing concerns of global warming and climate change require emphasis on clean and green energy. The Government of Uttar Pradesh recognizes the current and potential impact of Climate Change and is committed to encouraging the promotion of clean energy sources. Green hydrogen being a clean and industrial fuel will prove helpful in achieving thegoal of Net-Zero target. At present, the production cost of Green Hydrogen is not economical as compared to Grey Hydrogen produced using Natural Gas. Hence to give impetus to Green Hydrogen projects in the state, it is essential to provide various incentives in the initial stage. The ‘National Green Hydrogen Policy 2022’ and ‘National Green Hydrogen Mission 2023’ announced by the Government of India are very useful from the point of view of making India a Global Hub of Green Hydrogen in the coming decade.
