Key Highlights
- MNRE will host the International Conference on Green Hydrogen‑2025 in New Delhi on 11‑12 November 2025.
- The event will assemble international delegations, industry leaders and policymakers to map practical routes for scaling green hydrogen production and export.
- Core themes include technology selection, cost dynamics, infrastructure readiness, financing mechanisms, certification standards, port‑readiness for export, skill development and technology localisation.
Detailed Insights
The conference, organised by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), is a strategic platform to align global and domestic stakeholders around India’s rapidly evolving green hydrogen landscape. It will provide a forum for cross‑sector dialogue, featuring the Energy Minister, the Petroleum & Natural Gas Minister and the Minister of State for Earth Sciences, underscoring the sector’s importance in India’s clean‑energy agenda.
Key objectives include identifying scalable production pathways, addressing cost and technology trends, and fostering demand creation. The summit will also explore financing options, certification processes, and the development of port infrastructure to support hydrogen export. Emphasis on skill development and localisation aims to boost domestic manufacturing and job creation.
By aligning with the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the conference seeks to position India as a global hub for green hydrogen, ensuring that infrastructure, certification regimes and export capabilities meet international standards.
