Punjab’s Green Hydrogen Policy Emphasizes Biomass as a Feedstock

• Punjab has published a green hydrogen policy that focuses on producing hydrogen from biomass, which is abundant in the state due to its agricultural sector. The policy aims to produce 100,000 t/yr of green hydrogen from biomass gasification and offers various incentives for project developers and consumers of green hydrogen.

• The focus on the biomass route differentiates Punjab from other Indian states which are prioritising hydrogen production from renewable electricity.

• That said, India’s tender for green hydrogen production subsidies has funds set aside to specifically support 40,000 t/yr production from biomass.
