Under this policy, a bundle of $8.1 billion is given to allow the nation to come to be a leader in Green Hydrogen using innovation and worldwide collaborations. A few of Germany's 16 state federal governments have actually generated concrete hydrogen as well. These include Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, five north German coastal states together, North Rhine-Westphalia.

Germany has been placing a premium on the advancement of green hydrogen since 1980s and currently, it takes pride in a share of 20 per cent building electrolyzers in the worldwide market.

India's Ties with Germany, Egypt

India is not far behind when it concerns stepping up efforts in the direction of Green Hydrogen. A couple of months ago, the country signed an agreement with Germany for teamwork on Green Hydrogen, under which the two countries will certainly create an Indo-German Green Hydrogen Task Force.

In October, India revealed an interest in investing in the direction of the manufacturing of Green Hydrogen in Suez Canal Economic Zone. An MoU was authorized between both nations to establish a factory in the direction of this end in the said location.

Much more recently, India further ramped up its efforts targeted at the velocity of Green Hydrogen as the Indian Government identified ten states that have the possibility for the manufacturing of Green Hydrogen. On the export front, it will certainly be exporting Green Hydrogen to Singapore starting 2025.
