World’s largest Green Hydrogen Microgrid Projects:

Part of: Prelims and Mains GS-III: Energy

• To be set up at Simhadri 
• It would be a precursor to large scale hydrogen energy storage projects and would be useful for studying and deploying multiple microgrids in various off grid and strategic locations of the country.
• Would open doors for decarbonising the far-off regions of the country like Ladakh, J&K etc., hitherto dependent on diesel generators. 
• The project is in-line for India to become carbon neutral by 2070 and making Ladakh a carbon neutral territory.
