Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) through the National Green Hydrogen Mission (NGHM) is accelerating the development and deployment of Green Hydrogen and related technologies in various hard-to-abate sectors of the economy. MNRE has requested the World Bank to undertake an assignment to assess and recommend measures to optimize the approval processes of Green Hydrogen/Derivate projects. This is aimed to support adoption and implementation of the practices and procedures that will ensure smooth and timely preparation; implementation and operationalization of projects including aspects related to safety in the handling and use of hydrogen in various end use applications.Hydrogen; historically; has been used in various sectors/industry. Its use; however; has been in a controlled environment with a very strong regulatory oversight. With a thrust on green hydrogen as an important intervention for achieving low carbon pathways for the economies globally; its applications are increasing exponentially. It is therefore imperative to ensure that the agencies in India are continuously adapting their processes (best practices; regulations; codes; standards; skilling inter alia) to accommodate the evolving landscape of this low carbon energy transition. The Green Hydrogen value chain; consisting of production; storage; transportation; distribution; and end usage would need requisite know-how to ensure safety; decrease costs; and ensure compliance with applicable regulations; codes; and standards (RCS).This assignment aims to comprehensively review the process and sub-processes involved in various fuel and feedstock applications of Green Hydrogen; such as; mobility; ports; fertilizers; refineries; storage; etc. and recommend measures to standardize and streamline requirements for expeditious and smooth operationalization of projects. The assignment seeks to engage qualified consulting services for achieving such objectives.
