About the Program

Industrial Applications of Green Hydrogen is a self-paced online programme from evACAD (pManifold EV Academy). It shows how green hydrogen can cut emissions in industries that are hard to decarbonise with electricity alone and what it takes to make the switch.

Plant heads and sustainability teams hear a lot about hydrogen but struggle to see where it fits in their process. Where can it replace grey hydrogen or coal, and where is it the wrong choice? This programme answers that question sector by sector.

The programme has six modules. It covers refineries and fertilisers, steel made with hydrogen, other industries, green chemicals and e-methanol, transport, and energy storage and power.

Why Green Hydrogen Matters Today:

Hard-to-abate sectors need a clean fuel and feedstock

NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) and RMI (formerly Rocky Mountain Institute) identify fertilisers, refining, methanol, maritime shipping, iron and steel, and transport as sectors where green hydrogen can drive deep decarbonisation. Professionals in these sectors need to know how the switch works in practice.

Hydrogen demand is set to rise sharply

The same report estimates that India's total hydrogen demand could grow from about 6 million tonnes in 2020 to around 29 million tonnes by 2050, with 94 per cent of that demand expected to be green.

Fertiliser imports are a policy target

The National Green Hydrogen Mission document sets a target to replace all ammonia-based fertiliser imports with domestic green ammonia-based fertilisers by 2034-35.

Government is funding steel, mobility and shipping pilots

The mission sets aside ₹455 crore up to 2029-30 for low-carbon steel projects, ₹496 crore up to 2025-26 for mobility pilots, and ₹115 crore up to 2025-26 for shipping pilots.

Emissions cuts at a national scale

The government expects the mission to avoid nearly 50 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year by 2030. Industry is where much of this switch has to happen.

Career growth

Professionals who can assess hydrogen use in their sector can lead decarbonisation projects, advise on fuel switching and support green product lines in refining, fertilisers, steel, chemicals and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which industries can use green hydrogen?

The main users are refineries, fertiliser and ammonia plants, steel producers, chemical and methanol makers, heavy transport and shipping, and power and energy storage. NITI Aayog and RMI list fertilisers, refining, methanol, shipping, iron and steel, and transport as the sectors with the largest role for green hydrogen.

What is H2-DRI steelmaking?

Hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (H2-DRI) uses hydrogen instead of coal or natural gas to remove oxygen from iron ore. The by-product is water vapour, not carbon dioxide. Module 2 explains the process and its practical limits.

What is e-methanol?

E-methanol is methanol made from green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide. It can serve as a chemical feedstock or as a shipping fuel. Module 4 covers how it is made and used.

Who should take the Industrial Applications of Green Hydrogen programme?

It suits engineers, plant managers, sustainability leads and consultants in refining, fertilisers, steel, chemicals, transport and power who want to assess where hydrogen fits in their operations.

Is this programme self-paced?

Yes. The programme is fully self-paced and online. There are no fixed live class timings, so you can study around your work schedule.
