Hydrogen to compete with diesel in India
Blue hydrogen will reach diesel parity by 2030 and green hydrogen before 2050, says ICCT study
Blue hydrogen will be cost-competitive with diesel as a transport fuel by 2030 in India, while green hydrogen will reach the same milestone before 2050, according to an analysis by thinktank the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). The analysis found that pump prices for green and blue hydrogen will fall to under $5/kg by 2050, with production costs accounting for around $3/kg. Separate analysis by China’s state-controlled Sinopec, among others, has found that it is around this price level that the fuels become competitive with diesel for refuelling commercial vehicles. Hydrogen use in Indian transport is currently limited to bus pilots in a handful of major cities that run
