India’s green hydrogen roadmap is anchored by the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM), which aims to establish the country as a global hub for the production, usage, and export of green hydrogen. 

Key targets and initiatives include:
Production Targets: -
Achieving an annual production capacity of at least 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) by 2030, supported by 125 GW of associated renewable energy capacity. 
Financial Outlay:-
 The program is backed by a ₹19,744 crore funding package, which includes Production-Linked Incentives (PLI) for manufacturing electrolyzers and producing green hydrogen/ammonia. 
Cost Reduction: -
Targeting a production cost reduction to approximately $2 /kg by 2030. 
Phased Strategy: -
The roadmap features Phase I (2022-2026), which focuses on building early demand in refineries and fertilizer sectors, domestic electrolyzer manufacturing, and pilot mobility projects. 
Phase II (2026-2030) focuses on scaling up commercial applications across sectors like steel, shipping, and aviation. 
The roadmap is rolled out via several

specific initiatives and regional policies: 
 The SIGHT Programme
The Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) programme is a major financial component, allocating ₹17,490 crore towards direct incentives for green hydrogen and green ammonia producers. It also provides incentives for domestic electrolyzer manufacturing to localize supply chains. 
Sectoral Integration:-
While the initial focus utilizes green hydrogen in the chemical (fertilizer) and petroleum refining sectors, the roadmap includes pilots for hard-to-abate sectors: 
Mobility:-
Pl Pilot projects for hydrogen fuel cell and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, including buses and heavy-duty trucks.
Industry: -
Early-stage transitions in steel production and shipping
 State-Level Policies
Given your location in Gujarat, it is worth noting that your state, alongside Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra, is a frontrunner in rolling out localized green hydrogen policies. These state policies provide attractive land allotments, infrastructural support, and specific tax benefits to attract major private investments. 
. Hydrogen Valley Innovation Clusters (HVIC):-
To bypass the high costs of midstream transport, the roadmap promotes HVICs. These clusters co-locate production facilities directly alongside major industrial demand centers (like large refineries and fertilizer plants). 
If you are exploring business or research opportunities, let me know:
Are you interested in the manufacturing (electrolyzers/components) or the production (hydrogen/ammonia) side of the industry?

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...
