Green Hydrogen

The Indo Climate Lab (ICL) has positioned itself at the forefront of India’s green-hydrogen push, combining advanced R&D with strategic partnerships to turn renewable energy into a scalable fuel ecosystem.  On the technology front, the ICL develops and tests proton exchange membrane and alkaline electrolyzers tailored for variable solar and wind inputs. By optimizing catalysts and electrode designs, it drives down capital costs and boosts efficiency, laying the groundwork for “Made in India” electrolyzer standards.  

The field pilots are bringing theory to life. In rural hinterlands, ICL  has planned for a microgrid integrating rooftop solar, with 250 to 1000 kW electrolyzer and metal-hydride storage, seamlessly switching between photovoltaic power and fuel-cell generation. This demonstration will highlight green hydrogen’s potential to stabilize off-grid systems and create new income streams for agricultural communities.  

The 'Policy Engagement' is another pillar. Through white papers and technical workshops, ICL advises central ministries and regulators on incentives, streamlined permits and hydrogen-blending rules for existing gas networks. Its recommendations marry global best practices with local realities, helping shape a clear roadmap for deployment.  

Global alliances amplify impact. Participation in different Indian and international forums opens channels for technology transfer and joint projects on hydrogen shipping and pipeline logistics. These collaborations enhance India’s credibility as both a buyer and innovator of hydrogen solutions.  

Building human capacity is tackled through hands-on training programs. Engineers and policymakers gain tools for techno-economic analysis, project finance modeling and system maintenance—skills vital for manufacturing plants, refueling stations and regulatory bodies. On the finance side, we're facilitating funding through equity, standardized term sheets and risk-mitigation frameworks making projects more bankable. By integrating revenue from power-to-gas services, carbon-credit trading and oxygen by-products, The ICL is also unlocking funding for green-hydrogen ventures even in less-sunny regions.  

Through this blend of innovation, pilots, policy advocacy and capacity building, Indo Climate Lab is fast-tracking India’s transition into a global hub for hydrogen fuel production and utilization.
