HYDROGEN
Deploying a Key Driver of Decarbonisation and Energy Independence
Between 2025 and 2030, hydrogen is emerging as a strategic vector for the decarbonisation of heavy industry, long-distance transport, and energy storage. France and India are accelerating their respective roadmaps to move from pilot phases to industrial scale, with a focus on low-carbon and renewable hydrogen, transport infrastructure, and industrial applications.
This period is decisive: cost reductions, the scaling up of capacity, the securing of supply chains, and the structuring of markets. Bilateral cooperation can play a key role in aligning technologies, financing, and market opportunities.
France-India Analysis
France
France has strong advantages:
-
a well-structured industrial and technological ecosystem (electrolysers, engineering, systems integration),
-
recognised expertise in low-carbon hydrogen (nuclear + renewables),
-
regional and industrial projects focused on end uses (steel, chemicals, mobility),
-
European frameworks supportive of financing and standardisation.
France is positioning itself on project quality, equipment industrialisation, and integration into existing energy systems.
India
India is aiming for rapid scale-up:
-
development of large-scale green hydrogen production,
-
ambitions for export and industrial decarbonisation,
-
major needs in electrolysis, infrastructure, storage, and logistics,
-
a search for technological and financial partnerships to accelerate execution.
The Indian market offers scale, competitive costs, and an industrial momentum conducive to structuring partnerships.

Top 3
Hydrogen is among the three main decarbonisation priorities for heavy industry in Europe and Asia.
Cost Competitiveness and Securing Volumes
-
industrialisation of equipment (electrolysers, fuel cells, storage),
-
transport and distribution infrastructure,
-
deployment of industrial applications and heavy mobility,
-
contractual frameworks, financing, and project bankability.
FIBC Perspective
Hydrogen represents a structuring lever for France–India cooperation in the energy and industrial transition. Success depends on alignment between technology, financing, institutional frameworks, and industrial off-take.
FIBC provides a pragmatic bilateral perspective and a structuring framework, facilitating connections between industrial players, investors, and public decision-makers in order to transform hydrogen ambitions into concrete, bankable, and sustainable long-term projects.
