Gateway to Green

The report examines how six Indian ports can transition into green hydrogen hubs by integrating hydrogen into their value chains and leveraging Common User Infrastructure (CUI). It identifies key challenges such as high production costs and land acquisition, while emphasizing the role of storage infrastructure and the repurposing of natural gas pipelines and LNG terminals to reduce capital expenditures.

• Six Indian ports are evaluated for their readiness to support green hydrogen infrastructure: Deendayal in Gujarat, V.O. Chidambaranar in Tamil Nadu, Paradip in Odisha, Cochin in Kerala, and Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority in Maharashtra.
• The economic feasibility of storage infrastructure is tied to scale; the levelized cost of storage drops significantly as capacity reaches 1.0–1.5 megatons per year, though cost reductions plateau beyond that point.
• India's transition to green hydrogen hubs faces several obstacles, specifically high production costs, limited investments, uncertain demand, and complexities regarding land acquisition.
