Green Hydrogen Policy Accelerator Training Course (India)

The Green Hydrogen Organisation and International Solar Alliance are convening a joint training program for the green hydrogen economy, “Green Hydrogen Policy Accelerator Training Course”.  

The course targets participants from 14 countries, with sessions scheduled at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India. Each day will cover critical topics in green hydrogen, including policy, technology, trade, standards, infrastructure, finance, industry, and strategy. The course will also give participants the opportunity to visit the NTPC Green Hydrogen Demonstration Plant, Greater Noida, to further understand practical applications and logistics.  

The primary focus is to strengthen the Green Hydrogen Innovation Centre (GHIC) and equip government officials with expertise in renewable energy, green hydrogen production, applications, and policy development. This initiative is strategically designed to highlight the pivotal role of GHIC in driving the energy transition and achieving global sustainability and climate objectives. For more information about the GHIC is here www.isa-ghic.org.
