Kerala aspires to become a 100% renewable energy-based State by 2040 and net carbon neutral by 2050, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said. Kerala is India's first state to include hydrogen-powered mobility in its zero emissions mobility policy. The government has constituted the Kerala Hydrogen Economy Mission to contribute strategic inputs and facilitate partnerships and collaborations toward transforming the State into a green hydrogen hub. The production of green hydrogen is expected to be instrumental in the State’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Kerala would soon come out with a new ESG (Environmental, social, and governance)-focused industrial policy, which specifies incentives to promote responsible industrial production, Mr Vijayan said.
