The Government of Uttar Pradesh, through the Uttar Pradesh New & Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA), is committed to supporting India’s National Hydrogen Mission. This transformative initiative is a significant policy enabler aimed at achieving India’s ambitious climate targets while establishing the country as a global hub for green hydrogen and green ammonia production.
The National Hydrogen Mission aligns with India’s efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and achieve a renewable energy capacity of 500 GW. A key objective is to bring down the cost of green hydrogen to $1.5 per kilogram and develop a green hydrogen production capacity of 5 million tonnes per year by 2030.
Uttar Pradesh, with its strategic location, favorable climate, and growing renewable energy infrastructure, is well-positioned to contribute significantly to these national goals. UPNEDA is actively promoting investments in solar, wind, and other renewable sources of energy to support green hydrogen production in the state.
India’s unique geographical advantages, including abundant solar radiation, vast wind potential, and water resources, position the nation to become the world’s cheapest and largest producer of green hydrogen by 2050. Uttar Pradesh, as one of the leading states in renewable energy adoption, is poised to play a crucial role in realizing this vision.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the importance of green hydrogen in addressing global climate challenges, stating:
"Green hydrogen will play a crucial role in helping the nation mitigate climate change. India should become a global hub for green hydrogen production and exports."
At UPNEDA, we are dedicated to fostering innovation, creating enabling policies, and facilitating collaborations to ensure Uttar Pradesh emerges as a pivotal player in India’s green hydrogen journey.
The Hydrogen Energy Portal has been developed by UPNEDA with the objective of promoting Green Hydrogen Energy services and products in Uttar Pradesh. This initiative aims to foster the growth of the Green Hydrogen Energy industry in the state while attracting significant investments in this promising sector.
The portal is designed to facilitate investors interested in contributing to Uttar Pradesh's Green Hydrogen Energy sector. Investors planning to establish Green Hydrogen Energy Plants can register themselves on the portal. Upon successful registration, their proposals will be forwarded to UPNEDA for review and further processing.
The portal offers a transparent and efficient application process:
This portal reflects UPNEDA’s commitment to simplifying processes and fostering collaboration between stakeholders, thereby accelerating the adoption and development of Green Hydrogen Energy in Uttar Pradesh.
