'Hydrogen Valley' in Amaravati to focus on sustainability: CM
Amaravati: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday announced that a 'Hydrogen Valley' will be set up in Amaravati to focus on sustainability and protecting nature. Addressing the 'Green Hydrogen Summit-2025' at a private college in the greenfield capital city, Naidu noted that two valleys are coming up in Amaravati -- 'Quantum Valley' and 'Hydrogen Valley'. "I am very happy. We are focusing on Hydrogen Valley starting from here (Amaravati). Two valleys are coming here. One is Quantum Valley for computing and technology (and) one is the green Hydrogen Valley to protect nature for sustainability. This is very important," said Naidu. According to the CM, protecting nature and imbibing technology in that endeavour will lead to limitless development. He observed that there is a need for green energy, downstream industries and the total ecosystem. Further, the TDP supremo highlighted that the southern state is aiming to contribute nearly 160 GW of green energy in the near future out of the national target of producing 500 GW by 2030 set by the Centre. He noted that the TDP-led NDA government announced policies for attracting Rs 10 lakh crore investment in green energy, which could lead to the generation of 7.5 lakh jobs. Listing out some of the green energy goals set by Andhra Pradesh, he said it aims to achieve electrolyser manufacturing capacity of 3 GW, solar energy projects (78.5 GW), wind energy projects (35 GW), pumped storage projects (22 GW) and others. Naidu said the state is aiming to achieve a battery energy storage system of 25 GW per hour, ethanol (50 kilo litres per day) and set up 500 electric vehicle recharging stations and elaborated on other renewable energy projects. To attract investments, Naidu said Andhra Pradesh has extended the best incentives, including for manufacturing electrolysers and called on investors to inform the government if any other state has given better incentives to outdo them. Further, he highlighted that Andhra Pradesh has all the advantages for solar, wind and pumped energy. As water is important for pumped energy, he said the state is endowed with this advantage and emphasised that ports are crucial for exports. For every 50 km distance, Naidu said Andhra Pradesh will establish a port, among other goals.

Amaravati will emerge as Green Hydrogen Valley, says Chandrababu Naidu
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday declared that Amaravati, the capital city of the State, will be developed as a Green Hydrogen Valley, positioning it at the forefront of India's clean energy revolution. Speaking at the Green Hydrogen Summit-2025 held at SRM University, located at the foothill of Neerukonda, a small hill in Amaravati, the Chief Minister called upon researchers and investors to focus on low-cost green hydrogen production and assured necessary infrastructure support from the government. Mr. Naidu emphasised the urgency to shift from traditional fossil fuels to carbon-free energy sources like green hydrogen, highlighting its potential to reduce costs and benefit the common man. He noted that green hydrogen would be a game-changer for the energy sector, supporting India's net-zero carbon target by 2070. Two major projects Two major investment deals worth ₹51,000 crore were signed at the summit in Mr. Naidu's presence. UK-based Yamna Company, which focused on developing and investing in green hydrogen and green ammonia projects, will invest ₹16,000 crore to establish a one-million-tonne capacity green hydrogen plant in Krishnapatnam, Nellore district. Similarly, KSH Infra will invest ₹35,000 crore to set up plants in Machilipatnam with a capacity of 150 kilotonnes of green hydrogen and 600 kilo tonnes of green ammonia per year. The Chief Minister stated that Andhra Pradesh is already advancing in this direction, with NTPC setting up a green hydrogen plant in Visakhapatnam and green ammonia production soon to begin in Kakinada. The State has set a target of producing 160 MW of green hydrogen and is developing electrolyser capacity of 3 GW alongside solar, wind, and pumped hydro energy. Mr. Naidu announced that a Quantum Valley powered by artificial intelligence will be established in Amaravati and that the Amaravati Green Hydrogen Declaration will be released after the two-day summit being held at SRM University. A review of its implementation will be held after one year, he added. The university Pro-Chancellor Dr. P. Sathyanarayanan said that they would focus on green energy research and development by partnering with the stakeholders. Union Minister of State for Rural Development Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been giving priority to non-corban energy and providing incentives for researchers and industrialists, with an aim to reduce the dependence on imported fossil fuels. Chief Secretary K. Vijayanand, NITI Aayog member V.K. Saraswat and others spoke on various aspects of green hydrogen. Many industrialists, eminent scholars and government officials participated in the programme.
