Letter from India: Turning hydrogen hub dreams into reality
Building green hydrogen ports and lower production costs key to becoming global exporter
Transitioning to hydrogen as a sustainable fuel for future generations, replacing fossil fuels, requires hydrogen production, storage, pipelines and dispensing stations to be expanded to create widely distributed networks in order for the fuel to become common and popular. It involves huge infrastructure development across all segments of the hydrogen economy. Several countries and multinational corporates have adopted a strong commitment to the target of net-zero emissions and have taken up green hydrogen/ammonia projects, including hubs for domestic distribution and export. 306mt/yr – Volume of green hydrogen needed for net-zero world, according to IEA One-hundred and ninety-eight
