On the occasion of Hydrogen Day, the US India Strategic and Partnership Forum (USISPF) emphasized the growing collaboration between India and the United States, highlighting their commitment to driving the global energy transition.

As the world’s two largest democracies, India and the US are uniquely positioned to lead the charge through innovative clean energy solutions with hydrogen playing a pivotal role. 

Speaking on Tuesday, the head of USISPF remarked on the deepening ties between the two nations, noting that their national hydrogen missions are now a priority in their mutual efforts to combat climate change. Both countries are rapidly advancing hydrogen technologies, particularly green hydrogen, which is seen as a cornerstone in reducing carbon emissions.

Ajay Yadav, Joint Secretary at India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), spoke during the Hydrogen Day celebration, reflecting on the success of the International Conference on Green Hydrogen (ICGH 2024 ) held in New Delhi. With the US as a partner country, the conference showcased a dynamic exchange of ideas and innovations in the hydrogen space, bringing together global leaders, industry experts, and policymakers. 

 

This partnership comes at a time when both countries are making significant strides in clean energy adoption, driven by strong political will and innovation research. 

 

Yadav emphasized that the event was a testament to the shared vision of India and the US for a cleaner, greener energy future. He also discussed India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to establish the country as a global hub for green hydrogen production and technology. With a focus on reducing carbon emissions and accelerating the global energy resources and technologies advancements to lead the green hydrogen revolution. 

 By focusing on hydrogen as a key element in their energy mix, India and the US are not only working to decarbonize their economics but are also setting an example for other nations to follow. As the world looks toward a sustainable energy future, the collaboration between these two democracies stands as a powerful testament to the potential of international cooperation in addressing the most pressing environmental challenges. Together, India and the US are leading the global energy transition, setting the stage for a greener, more sustainable future.
