Green Hydrogen Summit: Industry Leaders Discuss Policies and Investment Opportunities

Industry leaders, scientists, and policymakers discussed policies to support green hydrogen projects at the Green Hydrogen Summit at SRM University-A.P. The focus was on investment opportunities, incentives, and financing. The panel explored the scope of fuel cells and the potential benefits of using metallic bipolar plates for large-scale hydrogen production.

Industry leaders, scientists, and policymakers gathered at the Green Hydrogen Summit at SRM University-A.P. to discuss policies supporting green hydrogen projects. The event emphasized investment opportunities, incentives, and financing, with a focus on technology innovations, infrastructure, and off-taker options [1].

Key discussions included the potential benefits of metallic bipolar plates for large-scale hydrogen production and the critical role of storage and sea-port accessibility [1]. The summit highlighted the need for policies to support the green hydrogen journey, including the selection of appropriate use cases and longer project tenures for cost efficiency [1].

In the UK, Black & Veatch completed a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for the Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project, which will produce green hydrogen using renewable energy from the Whitelee Windfarm [2]. The project is part of the UK government's Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) process and aims to produce green hydrogen with zero-carbon emissions.

Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL) collaborated with Hygenco to establish Maharashtra's first green hydrogen and oxygen production facility, aiming to achieve Net Zero by 2030 [3]. This facility will supply green hydrogen to STL's glass preform plant, marking a significant step towards decarbonization in the optical fiber industry.

The summit and these projects underscore the growing interest and investment in green hydrogen, driven by the need for sustainable energy solutions and the potential for significant cost savings and emissions reductions.
