- Assessment: GH2 will work together with the government to test whether Kerala has an enabling environment in place, like electricity, renewables, or water policy, using its Rapid Assessment Tool (RAT).
- Financing: Both parties jointly work to catalyse investments in green hydrogen projects in India, by bringing together government, industry, and financial institutions in the India GH2 Financing Taskforce.
- Skills Development: GH2 will help in the development of Skills Framework by coordinating with various Academic, Training and Skill Qualification bodies to help build Capacity for the State of Kerala. This will help in creating a strong Standardised Skill Registry for the evolving the Green Hydrogen industry and propel Kerala as a front runner in this space.
- GH2 and ANERT will cooperate to engage organisations in India to host dialogues, networking events, discussions, and research on green hydrogen.
