Around the world, the race to curb climate change is reshaping how nations view energy. As countries double down on the push to limit global warming and cut carbon emissions while reducing dependence on fossil fuels, one breakthrough is gaining uninterrupted momentum: green hydrogen. It has emerged as a powerful, clean alternative capable of transforming the way we produce energy and run industries.
At its core, the concept is beautifully simple. Take water, use renewable energy such as sunlight or wind to split it into hydrogen and oxygen, and you get a fuel that produces almost no greenhouse gases. Today, most hydrogen still comes from fossil fuels, but green hydrogen shows us what the future could look like – clean, efficient, and sustainable.
Its importance becomes even clearer when we look at industries that are notoriously difficult to clean up. Heavy manufacturing, steel, cement, fertilisers, long-distance travel, and shipping keep society running, yet they rely heavily on processes that produce a large volume of carbon emissions. Green hydrogen, however, offers greener pastures. It can power intense industrial heat, help create low-carbon chemicals, run large trucks & ships through fuel cells, and even store renewable energy for when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.
India got the memo early, understood the potential, and has acted boldly. With plans to install 500 GW of non-fossil power by 2030, achieve energy independence by 2047, and reach net zero by 2070, the country’s path forward has never been clearer. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, backed by INR 197.44 billion (source: Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India), aims to make India one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of green hydrogen, targeting 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) a year by 2030.
This is where we at Jakson Green feel proud to contribute. Our teams are working with public sector units to build India’s largest green hydrogen refuelling station for urban mobility, a major step towards cleaner transport in our cities. We are also partnering with government entities to set up hydrogen generation plants. While these projects are currently based in India, the technologies, operating models, and implementation capabilities we are developing are aligned with global green hydrogen aspirations. By developing India’s largest green hydrogen refuelling station for urban mobility and collaborating with government entities to establish hydrogen generation facilities, we are creating solutions that can serve as reference points for similar transitions worldwide.
While green hydrogen is more expensive to produce than traditional hydrogen, that gap is shrinking fast. Technology is improving, renewable energy is becoming more abundant and global investment is rising. As production scales up, green hydrogen will become more affordable, unlocking a range of new possibilities.
What makes green hydrogen inspiring is the promise it carries. It gives industries a chance to reduce their carbon footprint without slowing down growth. It gives businesses new opportunities to innovate responsibly. It gives nations greater energy security. And most importantly, it gives future generations a cleaner world to live in. The transition to a sustainable planet has begun, and green hydrogen is poised to play one of the starring roles. At Jakson Green, we are committed to helping shape that story – one project and one breakthrough at a time.
