Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) has unveiled a comprehensive roadmap to accelerate the development of sustainable green hydrogen production in India, mapping out technological pathways, investment priorities and policy needs to position India as a global leader in clean hydrogen. The roadmap highlights the critical role of green hydrogen produced using renewable energy and zero-emissions processes in decarbonising industrial sectors, promoting energy security and enabling long-term climate goals. India’s renewable energy build-out, driven by ambitious solar and wind capacity targets, makes the country a promising candidate for scaling green hydrogen. IIT Madras’s framework emphasises the need for cost-competitive, efficient electrolysis technologies, robust supply chains for electrolyser components, and integration with existing industrial operations where hydrogen can replace fossil fuels in sectors such as steel, refining and chemicals. The roadmap outlines a phased strategy that includes technology validation, pilot deployments, manufacturing scale-up and ecosystem development through public-private partnerships. It also underscores the importance of research and development in advanced materials, cost reduction through economies of scale, and targeted support mechanisms like incentives and carbon pricing to accelerate market adoption. In addition to the technical vision, the institute proposes standards for green hydrogen certification, quality assurance, safety protocols and workforce skill development to support India’s emerging hydrogen economy. The roadmap calls for collaborative action among academia, industry and government to translate strategic plans into operational projects. With global momentum building around hydrogen as a pillar of clean energy transitions, the IIT Madras roadmap seeks to catalyse investment, strengthen innovation ecosystems and help India achieve net-zero commitments while enhancing competitiveness in the global hydrogen value chain. #StartupEuropeIndiaNetwork #India #Tech #MarketExpansion #Science #AI #Infrastructure #GreenHydrogen #SustainableEnergy #CleanEnergy #HydrogenEconomy #IITMadras #Decarbonisation #EnergyTransition #ClimateAction #Innovation #NetZero #PublicPrivatePartnership #Renewables
