The phrase &#8220;hydrogen economy&#8221; is not a new concept. Currently, hydrogen is primarily utilised in the refining and chemical sectors and mostly produced from fossils, attributing for 6% of global natural gas use and 2% of coal consumption and is the primary cause for 830 MtCO<sub>2<\/sub> of annual CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>. In order to reduce the costs for producing and using clean hydrogen with carbon capture, usage and storage technologies, scaling the production of clean hydrogen will play a massive role.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is abundantly transparent that hydrogen energy presents diverse benefits over other power sources including:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>clean energy source for sustaining zero carbon energy programmes;<\/li>\n<li>abundance in source;<\/li>\n<li>diminishes carbon footprints;<\/li>\n<li>almost zero emissions; and<\/li>\n<li>usage in the automotive industry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, the immediate need to capitalise the potential of low-carbon hydrogen and use it for a comprehensive range of applications as a feasible surrogate to liquid and fossil fuels cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hydrogen is generally categorised in accordance with the way it is produced and is catalogued by colour. Some of the colours of hydrogen rainbow are listed below<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Blue \u2013 Blue hydrogen is generated using methane gas, but the carbon is captured and<\/li>\n<li>Brown\/Black \u2013 Brown\/black hydrogen is extracted from fossil fuels out which mainly it is coal.<\/li>\n<li>Turquoise \u2013 Turquoise hydrogen is produced by a process known as \u201cmethane pyrolysis\u201d to produce hydrogen and solid carbon.<\/li>\n<li>Grey \u2013 Grey hydrogen is the most common form and is generated through steam reformation of natural gas or methane.<\/li>\n<li>Green \u2013 Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis using electricity generated by renewable sources such as wind energy and solar energy.<\/li>\n<li>Pink \u2013 Pink hydrogen is generated via electrolysis using electricity generated from nuclear power.<\/li>\n<li>Purple \u2013 Purple hydrogen is made using nuclear power and heat through combined chemo thermal electrolysis splitting of water.<\/li>\n<li>White \u2013 White hydrogen is naturally occurring geological hydrogen found in underground deposits and produced through fracking.<\/li>\n<li>Yellow \u2013 Yellow hydrogen is produced by electrolysis using solar power.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many experts believe that distinct legal mechanisms will have to be administered in connection with production and usage of hydrogen production, depending on numerous factors such as the manner in which it is produced or if the production is using renewable or non-renewable energy.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">India\u2019s regulatory framework<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recent global incidents of uncommon wildfires, droughts and floods and immense apprehensions about changing climatic conditions have prompted even a developing country like India to contemplate a swift shift towards sustainability and aggrandise its sustainable goals by dint of policy framework.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) pioneered its first hydrogen and fuel cell roadmap in the year 2006<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a> and MNRE has always considered &#8220;hydrogen&#8221; as its vision towards a sustainable future. However, the framework around &#8220;hydrogen&#8221; related policies was never formulated in a specific legislation. For example, renewable energy resources are regulated by MNRE, usage of pipelines to transport fuel and like products are governed by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Lately, amendments in the Oilfield (Regulation and Development) Act, 1984 were suggested by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Bill, 2021<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a> dated 15-6-2021 wherein hydrogen was included in the definition of &#8220;mineral oils&#8221; in order to facilitate the Government to permit a licence for its exploration and production. Scenarios like this has led for a push for an aerodynamic legislation which governs the framework in relation to hydrogen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The National Hydrogen Mission (NHM) was launched on 15-8-2021 with the objective to make India a global hub for green hydrogen production and export. The NHM aims to enable production of 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030 and the related development of renewable energy capacity. As a positive step in the direction envisaged by NHM, on 17-2-2022, the Ministry of Power announced the green hydrogen policy (GHP).<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Green Hydrogen Policy (GHP)<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some of the salient features of GHP inter alia include:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Production and development of green hydrogen as well as green ammonia.<\/li>\n<li>Waiver of inter-State transmission charges for a period of 25 years if the projects are commissioned before 25-6-2025.<\/li>\n<li>Banking shall be permitted for a period of 30 days for renewable energy used for making green hydrogen and green ammonia and the charges in relation to the same will be as per the charges fixed by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, which shall not be more than the cost differential between the average tariff of renewable energy bought by the distribution company in the previous year and the average market clearing price in day ahead market during the month in which the renewable energy is banked.<\/li>\n<li>Distribution companies are also authorised to acquire and supply renewable energy to the manufacturers of green hydrogen and green ammonia which shall only be charged at the cost of such procurement including wheeling charges and a small margin as may be determined by the State Commission.<\/li>\n<li>Allotment of land in renewable energy parks for manufacturing green hydrogen\/green ammonia. Further, it also permits manufacturers of green hydrogen\/green ammonia to set up bunkers near ports for storage of green ammonia for export\/use by shipping, at applicable charges.<\/li>\n<li>Additionally, MNRE will establish a single portal for all statutory clearances and permissions required for manufacture, transport, storage and distribution of green hydrogen\/green ammonia and such agencies\/authorities are time-bound to clear such clearances\/permissions, preferably within 30 days from the date of application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Challenges faced by the Hydrogen Sector<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the foremost obstacles faced by the hydrogen sector is that the production of low-carbon hydrogen is still in the embryo phase in commercial terms. As there is minuscule commercial scale at the present, low-carbon hydrogen production is not a commercially feasible substitute. Another challenge is that there is no resolute hydrogen legislation in place in most of the countries and dedicated framework governing manufacture, usage, storage and transport of hydrogen needs to be put forth in order to facilitate growth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hydrogen projects are expected to play a colossal role in decarbonising our energy usage and working towards a clean and sustainable future. National strategies and efficacious public-private partnerships will be essential to nail the big fish and to warrant assured success.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India, by announcing the GHP has taken a step in the right direction towards attaining energy sufficiency using clean and renewable sources of energy. Further, MNRE is supporting industrial, academic and research institutions to tackle the obstacles in production of hydrogen from renewable energy sources, its safe and efficient storage, and its usage for energy and transport applications. MNRE has extended substantial support to R&amp;D in this field resulting in development and demonstration of internal combustion engines, two wheelers, three wheelers, and minibuses that run on hydrogen fuel. India has already set up two hydrogen refuelling stations at Indian Oil R&amp;D Centre, Faridabad and National Institute of Solar Energy, Gurugram.<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While it is paramount that India accelerates in the field of development and manufacturing of hydrogen technologies, it will also be fundamental for other countries to progress towards the same goal. In the words of Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, \u201cClimate Change is a collective endeavour, it is collective accountability, and it may not be too late.&#8221; The only hope to achieve the targets set at Paris Agreement is to massively scale the manufacturing and deployment of hydrogen technologies which will result in significant reductions in the cost thereby making utilisation of hydrogen as an indisputable substitute to fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u2020 Partner, Khaitan &amp;
