India's petroleum minister, Hardeep Singh Puri, has said that he has directed the oil marketing companies (OMCs) to prepare a plan in the field of green hydrogen, which he said would be submitted to the Prime Minister's Office very soon.
The minister made the remarks while addressing reporters on the sidelines of '11th CII Bio-Energy Summit' in the national capital.
India has three large oil refining-cum-marketing companie--IOC, BPCL and HPCL. These, along with their subsidiaries are the primary suppliers of petroleum products to the country. There are also some private refiners such as Reliance and Shell.
"I have always been a staunch believer that the success of green hydrogen will come from the petroleum and natural gas (PNG) sector for a variety of reasons (like) you have refineries which will produce and consume green hydrogen for a variety of PNG functions," he said.
