Industrial Green Hydrogen Applications – Hydrogen used in refining, steel, chemicals, and transport sectors.

Green hydrogen’s primary role is to decarbonize India’s hard-to-abate sectors, which currently rely heavily on fossil fuels.

Fertilizer: This is the largest current consumer of grey hydrogen (for ammonia production). Green hydrogen will directly replace this, with several large-scale green ammonia projects planned for the sector.

Refining: Refineries use hydrogen for desulphurization. PSUs like IOCL and BPCL are actively commissioning pilot plants to integrate green hydrogen into their processes, initially through blending.

Steel: This sector presents a massive opportunity for decarbonization. Pilot projects are underway to demonstrate the use of green hydrogen in Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) production, replacing coal/natural gas-based reduction processes.

Mobility: Green hydrogen is being tested for long-haul heavy-duty transportation (trucks and buses) and for powering trains ("Hydrogen for Heritage").

Power Generation: Green hydrogen/ammonia can be co-fired in gas turbines for power generation, offering a solution for flexible, cleaner power. Mandates for minimum consumption in these sectors are central to driving sustained industrial demand and achieving national decarbonization goals.
