Gujarat is advancing its Green Hydrogen Policy 2025 with a target to produce 3 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA) of green hydrogen by 2035. To support this goal, the state plans to deploy 30 GW of electrolyzer capacity and 75 GW of renewable energy capacity. The strategy focuses on replacing natural gas with green hydrogen to eliminate 5 MMTPA of carbon emissions. The government is implementing a three-tier framework providing financial incentives for biomass and electrolysis projects, alongside the development of dedicated green hydrogen hubs.

75 GW of new renewables just for hydrogen is a massive ask for the grid. I want to see the interconnection plan for these hubs. Where is the land coming from and how do they handle the curtailment if the electrolyzers go offline?

The three tier framework is the part to watch. If the financial incentives are just upfront grants, it is a gamble. If they are production linked incentives based on actual carbon displacement, it becomes a real market signal.

Gujarat is pushing hard on the 3 MMTPA target. The shift from natural gas to green hydrogen in industrial clusters is the main play here. It is a huge scale up, but the policy at least puts concrete numbers on the table.

Replacing natural gas in heavy industry is not just about the fuel. It is about the pipes and the burners. I wonder if the policy covers the actual industrial retrofitting costs or if they expect companies to eat that.
