Centre to issue tenders based on aggregated demand for green hydrogen soon

The Centre will issue tenders based on the 'demand aggregator' model for green hydrogen. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) in its latest Cabinet note has proposed that demand for green hydrogen from key sectors such as fertilisers, steel, and refineries would be aggregated and offered as a mega tender. 

The Cabinet note has been sent to ministries of petroleum and natural gas, law, department of fertilisers, among others for their comments. The demand aggregation will help in creating substantial volume to facilitate commercial supply of green hydrogen. 

MNRE has proposed that SECI can host the bidding process,
