New Delhi, Nov 12
India's National Green Hydrogen Mission is expected to create about 125 GW of new renewable energy capacity dedicated to green hydrogen production, along with investments exceeding Rs 8 lakh crore.
The Mission is also expected to create over 6 lakh jobs, reduce fossil fuel imports by more than Rs 1 lakh crore, and avoid nearly 50 MMT of greenhouse gas emissions every year by 2030, according to an official statement issued on Wednesday.
The statement comes against the backdrop of the UN conference on climate change -- COP30 that kicked off in Brazil on Wednesday. Discussions at the conference are expected to focus on forest protection, climate finance and advancing global efforts to cut emissions and strengthen resilience.
