TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: IIT Kanpur. IIT Kanpur announced the establishment of the Centre of Excellence on Innovative and Integrated Ecosystem for Green Hydrogen (ECOGEN) on 20 July 2026. The project has been approved by the Uttar Pradesh Government and sanctioned by UPNEDA under the Uttar Pradesh Green Hydrogen Policy 2024. Green hydrogen is produced by the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity from sources such as solar and wind energy, making it a low-carbon fuel. ECOGEN will undertake research across the green hydrogen value chain, including production, storage, transportation, safety standards, testing, demonstrations, and industrial applications. The Centre aims to reduce the cost of green hydrogen production, strengthen India's clean energy research ecosystem, and support Uttar Pradesh's net-zero emissions goal. Dr. Prabodh Bajpai, Professor in the Sustainable Energy Engineering Department at IIT Kanpur, will serve as the Principal Investigator of ECOGEN. The Uttar Pradesh Government had earlier approved a joint Green Hydrogen Centre of Excellence involving IIT Kanpur and Harcourt Butler Technical University on 16 December 2025 under the same policy framework.
