Green hydrogen is emerging as a crucial solution for decarbonizing industries that are difficult to transition away from fossil fuels. However, its widespread adoption hinges on three key factors: abundant renewable energy sources, large-scale production of advanced electrolyzers, and committed end-users.

India has taken several initiatives to promote the production and use of green hydrogen, including the setting up of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, under which financial support will be provided for the manufacture of electrolyzers and green hydrogen production with a total outlay of ₹175 billion (~$2.1 billion).

How effective are these initiatives, and what more needs to be done to create a green hydrogen ecosystem in India? These and other questions will be addressed by experts at the fourth edition of Mercom India’s annual event, the Mercom India Renewables Summit, on July 25 and 26, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency in New Delhi.

The panel discussion titled “Scaling Green Hydrogen to Build a Competitive Marketplace” will explore strategies for making green hydrogen economically viable by discussing the necessary incentives to scale up green hydrogen production and the methods for creating demand from heavy industries like steel manufacturing and oil refining.

The discussion will feature insights from industry leaders, including Rajat Seksaria, CEO of Green Hydrogen and its derivatives at Adani New Industries, Chirag Kotecha, CEO of Matrix Gas and Renewables, Prashant Choubey, President of Avaada Group, and Sandeep Kashyap, CEO of Renewables Business at RP Sanjiv Goenka Group.

The panelists will discuss the challenges and opportunities in building a competitive green hydrogen marketplace.

The 2024 Summit will also host two celebrated side events: the fourth Mercom India Awards and the second edition of the Cleantech Startup Pitch Competition.

The Mercom India Awards, recognized as one of the solar industry’s most prestigious accolades, will honor outstanding achievements and spotlight the sector’s transformation.

The Cleantech Startup Pitch Competition will showcase innovative startups, allowing them to present their novel technologies and solutions to potential investors, fostering further innovation and growth.
