India’s top power producer
NTPC is in talks with potential buyers in Japan, South
Korea and Germany for green ammonia and other low-carbon fuels,
Chairman Gurdeep Singh said on Tuesday.
* India has outlined plans to become a major green hydrogen
producer, even as developers worldwide have struggled to secure
the long-term offtake agreements required to underpin
large-scale investments
* NTPC is in talks with prospective overseas customers as it develops a proposed green hydrogen hub in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, Singh said at an event organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce
* The project is expected to produce green ammonia and green
methanol, which are considered more practical than hydrogen for
transportation and international trade
* “We have to make hydrogen a business,” Singh said, adding
that the focus was shifting from pilot projects to commercially
viable ventures
* The comments underscore efforts by Indian companies to
secure demand as they seek to turn government-backed hydrogen
ambitions into commercially viable projects
* Backed by subsidies of roughly $2.1 billion, New Delhi
aims to produce 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually
by 2030
* Demand for green fuels is expected to rise as industries
look for alternatives to fossil fuels to reduce missions and
meet decarbonisation targets
