Green hydrogen push for refining fertiliser sectors

Subject – Environment

Context – R K Singh: ‘Green hydrogen push for refining, fertiliser sectors; PLI for electrolysers in the works’

Concept –

The government is working on plans to boost the use of green hydrogen in the oil refining and fertiliser production sectors, including a likely announcement on a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for electrolyser manufacturing to give an impetus to the domestic hydrogen value chain.
Now, grey hydrogen and grey ammonia (both generated from natural gas or methane, through a process called steam reforming) will be gradually replaced by the green hydrogen and green ammonia (generated using renewables).
- Grey hydrogen is used in course refining.
