Hydrocarbon Sector Skill Council

National Green Hydrogen Mission

India is steadfast in its journey towards energy independence by 2047 and achieving Net Zero by 2070. Central to this vision is the transition to renewable energy across all sectors of the economy. Green Hydrogen emerges as a transformative solution in this Energy Transition, offering diverse applications such as long-duration renewable energy storage, industrial decarbonization, clean transportation, decentralized power generation, and potential use in aviation and marine transport.
The mission's primary objective is to establish India as a global hub for the production, utilization, and export of Green Hydrogen and its derivatives. This aligns with India's commitment to becoming Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) through clean energy while serving as a beacon for global clean energy transitions. The National Green Hydrogen Mission is poised to drive significant decarbonization of the economy, reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports, and position India as a leader in Green Hydrogen technology and markets. Hydrocarbon Sector Skill Council have been 17nos of NCVET approved qualification on green Hydrogen. For more information visit standards section: Qualification Packs & Model Curriculum
