HINT.CO Roadshow on 2nd H2Global tender in Mumbai

On the occasion of the launch of its second H2Global tender, HINT.CO GmbH visited Mumbai, India, on April 7th as part of its global roadshow. The event was organised by HINT.CO GmbH and supported by the Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF-SO), the International Hydrogen Ramp-up Programme (H2Uppp), the India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A), Green Hydrogen India (GH2 India), the Hydrogen Association of India (HAI), and the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC). 

Dr. Christian Storost, Head of Division “International Hydrogen Ramp-up”, German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) welcomed the participants and emphasised that hydrogen and its derivatives will play a crucial role in driving Germany’s industrial decarbonisation. Germany will import hydrogen in the future and is committed to forge a strong partnership with India. 

The hybrid event served as a platform for Hintco to introduce the tender’s auction design, explain eligibility criteria, bid preparation and engage with Indian producers of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives (RFNBOs). Hintco's core task is the preparation and implementation of competitive bidding processes for the purchase and sale of clean hydrogen-based products and other low-emission fuels, contributing to a global energy transition. 

This second H2Global tender follows EU Commission approval and offers four regional lots and one global lot, with a  total volume of EUR 2.5 billion-potentially rising to nearly EUR 3 billion subject to final budget clearance. 

Around 150 participants joined the event, including project developers and industry stakeholders involved in RFNBO production. Their strong interest highlighted India’s growing commitment to clean hydrogen.  

"Indian producers came ready with thoughtful questions, strong project ambitions, and a clear appetite to engage. It was energising to see the level of interest and technical insight in the room. Participants left with a clear understanding of the H2Global auction—and a renewed sense of momentum around India’s role in it." — Timo Bollerhey, CEO of Hintco.
