Pioneering Excellence: New CoEs to Lead Green Hydrogen Mission

The government is inviting proposals to establish Centres of Excellence (CoEs) under the National Green Hydrogen Mission's R&D Scheme. These centers aim to promote innovation, sustainability, and long-term energy independence by advancing green hydrogen technologies. The call was made by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) on November 4.

The government's recent call for proposals aims to establish Centres of Excellence (CoEs) under the National Green Hydrogen Mission's R&D Scheme. This initiative seeks to boost innovation and sustainability in green hydrogen technologies, ultimately fostering long-term energy independence.

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) announced that these CoEs will play a critical role in advancing green hydrogen production, storage, and utilization technologies. This aligns with the broader objective of transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

Launched on January 4, 2023, the National Green Hydrogen Mission is supported by a substantial investment of Rs. 19,744 crore, targeting the creation of 5 metric million tonnes of green hydrogen capacity by FY 2029-30. The recent proposal invitation marks a significant step forward in achieving these ambitious goals.
