The much-awaited National Hydrogen Mission document can be expected to be brought out in 2-3 weeks time, a source in the Ministry of Power have told this blog. The source has asked not to be named.
What is clear is that the government is assidiously working on the Mission document, as many sources both from the government and the industry have told this blog.
The PV Magazine recently reported that the draft of the document is currently under inter-ministerial consultations.
The magazine's correspondent, Uma Gupta, quotes the Power Minister, R K Singh, as saying that the document is under inter-ministerial consultations.
The Mission document is expected to come out with a scheme for indigenous manufacturing as well as R&D projects for electrolysers. It will also formally announce the mandate green hydrogen purchase obligations for specified sectors--expected to be refineries and fertilizers, initially.
Gupta quotes Minister Singh as saying that a green hydrogen project with a production capacity of one tonne per day has been established at Bikaner, Rajasthan, under the private sector. Further, under a Research and Development project supported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, a 5 Nm3/h (normal cubic meter per hour) green hydrogen production plant based on solar energy-powered electrolysis has been established at the National Institute of Solar Energy, Gurugram.
