Introduction
Energy is an important driver of economic growth, and our Government's focus on bringing about transformational changes, has led to expansion of cleaner and sustainable energy sources. In this context, energy efficiency and technology are going to play a major role in shaping the growth of the country. Understandably, government is giving a major thrust to usage of natural gas by setting up ambitious target of creating a national gas grid of transmission pipelines with doubling of pipeline network to 34000 km in the next three years and launching CGD Network in almost 300 Geographical Areas (GAs) covering the entire country. Under the leadership of our Hon'ble Prime Minister and “Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan” we feel empowered and strongly believe that it will reinforce India's vision of becoming a US$ 5 trillion economy by 2024-25.
As the world moves towards a net zero target by 2050, countries are in pursuit of cleaner sources of energy. Globally, gas, renewables and nuclear energy forms to projected to grow faster in the next 20 years. While natural gas is the cleanest of fossil fuels, major strides are being made in production and usage of Hydrogen as a clean carbon free fuel across the world. Carbon free hydrogen, a fuel, a carrier, and a store of energy, is topmost in the global green agenda. It is being reported that green hydrogen produced by renewable energy can help tackle sustainability challenges in sectors such as transportation, building development, and power generation, and enable larger-scale penetration of variable renewable energy when combined with emerging low-carbon technologies. Yet, global investment in hydrogen was only 0.5% of renewable energy investment in 2021.
Asia and the Pacific has taken major steps in hydrogen investment, accounting for over 50% of the global total in 2021. Countries like Australia, Japan, India, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, and India are proposing national-level hydrogen strategies to accelerate the de-carbonization of society and aiming to move forward with their adoption. On August 15, 2021, our Hon’ble Prime Minister announced a “National Hydrogen Mission” to make India a global hub for Green Hydrogen Production and Export”, boost self-reliance” and lead the way in clean energy transition all over the world. Many of the Indian majors in public and private sectors have taken initiatives, launching a no. of pilot projects and have plans to promote the usage of hydrogen.
Yet, many concerns still remain with respect to multiple facets of hydrogen value chain – economics and scale of production, storage, blending, feasibility of transportation infrastructure, market development and related regulations and codes. There is a great need for understanding the technology, the issues involved, stakeholder efforts and long term potential. The National Conclave on Hydrogen organised jointly by Diligentia Advisers & Ceresta Centre for Energy will be very focussed on specifically discussing these aspects and evolving a feasible road map for the future in conjunction with the National Hydrogen Mission.
Key Areas of deliberation
- Understanding the national hydrogen strategies and policies for promoting hydrogen
- Where we stand today? - Initiatives and plans of companies undertaken so far, the experience and future outlook
- Technologies of Hydrogen Production – Green, Blue Hydrogen and the Processes
- International Experience and lessons learnt in the context of examining the economic models for hydrogen cost of production and transportation and applications.
- Transporting and usage of Hydrogen – blending with natural gas, feasibility of existing pipeline infrastructure, regulation and codes, safety and related aspects
- Application of Hydrogen in various industrial sectors, transport etc.
- Future Energy Roadmap of India

Supporting Association
Natural Gas Society
The Natural Gas Society (NGS), a registered body, is the emerging voice of the Indian natural gas industry and has been established to catalyse the development of the industry. NGS seeks to establish itself as an industry think tank and provide critical inputs into sectorial policy through research, collaboration and dialogue. It will also work towards the enhancement of India's natural gas industry's competitiveness in global energy markets. NGS will provide a forum for exchange of ideas and best practices for the Indian gas industry, especially in the transmission and distribution segments of the gas value chain.
NGS also supports the optimisation of resources and continual improvement of safety and service aspects of the entire gas chain keeping the interests of all stakeholders in mind, through the promotion of development, application and transfer of new technologies and best practices. It aims to strategically popularise extensive use of natural gas and attract investment into the sector.
