Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Mapping of Demand and Supply Centers for Potential Green Hydrogen Opportunities in India. Hydrogen, as a fuel and a feedstock, can play a significant role in decarbonizing what are otherwise recognized as hard-to-abate sectors of the economy such as steelmaking, cement, petrochemicals, fertilizers, heavy haul land transport etc. These sectors are responsible for up to a quarter of all emissions in India. Historically, these industries, except for heavy haul land transport, are situated in clusters defined as geographic concentration of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, firms in related industries, and associated institutions (for example universities, standard agencies, and trade associations) in particular fields that compete but also co-operate (Porter 2010). As we move towards a just clean energy transition, cross-industry collaboration and creating an ecosystem serving diverse industries within a cluster would be essential. The industrial cluster is a way to decarbonize, generate new jobs in underserved areas, and deliver vital benefits like better air quality and health. The World Bank, with an objective to allow it to help India in deepening the penetration of Green Hydrogen (Gh2) in various sectors of the economy, would like to map the demand and supply centres within the country, thereby better understanding opportunities to increase uptake of this energy vector. This is an all-India level study. SCOPE OF WORK: As a part of the engagement, a Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping on a scale of 1:50, 000 will be done to map the industries that have a strong causal relationship with promotion of the hydrogen economy. This would include oil refineries, steelmaking, fertilizers, chemical industries (such as methanol), cement, and heavy haul land transport. These are being collectively referred as industrial clusters in the terms of reference. To undertake this exercise, the following tasks are proposed: 1. Task 1: Collection of information/data/maps and GIS mapping of [a] aforementioned (existing and proposed) industries operating either out of an industrial cluster, SEZ park or on a standalone basis; and, [b] existing transportation corridors consisting of roadways, railways, waterways and ports connecting the mapped industrial clusters. 2. Task 2: Undertake GIS based mapping of land us-land cover (LULC) (using secondary sources, for example, Bhuvan) in close vicinity (within 50 km of radius [indicative and will be confirmed in the Terms of Reference in the RfP stage]) of various industrial clusters (as mapped in task 1), which has a potential for establishing green hydrogen (Gh2) production facilities. 3. Task 3: Undertake GIS based mapping of existing water bodies (such as reservoirs) in close vicinity (within 10 km of radius [indicative and will be confirmed in the Terms of Reference in the RfP stage]) of the industrial clusters identified in tasks 1 and 2. The (mapped) water body would then be assessed for its suitability to supply water (type of water body, possible volume if available, etc.) for electrolysis. 4. Task 4: Undertake GIS based mapping of the existing as well as of the proposed utility-scale grid-connected Renewable Energy projects (such as, onshore wind, offshore wind, utility scale solar, hybrid RE parks, hydro, etc.). All Renewable Energy projects with nameplate capacity of over 100 MW would be included in the mapping exercise. 5. Task 5: Undertake GIS based mapping of the existing and proposed transportation corridors (including waterways, roadways, railways, pipelines, and ports) and infrastructure linkages which supports logistics (heavy haul land transport) such as Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and may also be strategic/important for the establishment of the GH production facility . Such exercise will need to be done for the nodes identified as per Tasks 1-4 above. 6. Task 6: Rank various clusters with respect to their inherent capability of supporting a Gh2 economy (either production or consumption or both). This would be based on the various attributes mapped in Tasks 1 5 (by superimposing all attributes collected from all the aforementioned layers) and would provide an indication of how easy or difficult (ranked in terms of level of difficulty Easy, Medium, Difficult, Extremely Difficult) would transitioning to Gh2 be for the various mapped clusters.
