- Context
- The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has notified the standard for green hydrogen in India.
- This standard outlines the emission thresholds for the production of hydrogen that can be classified as "green."
- Definition of Green Hydrogen
- Green hydrogen is defined as hydrogen having a well-to-gate emission of not more than 2 kg CO2 equivalent per kg of hydrogen (H2)
- Important Concepts:
- Well-to-gate emission includes:
- Water treatment
- Electrolysis
- Gas purification
- Drying
- Compression of hydrogen.
- The definition's scope encompasses both:
- Electrolysis-based hydrogen production methods
- Biomass-based hydrogen production methods.
- Nodal Authority for Accreditation:
- The notification specifies that the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), under the Ministry of Power, will act as the nodal authority.
- The BEE will be responsible for the accreditation of agencies
- Fukushima Reactor
