Main Body

Natural hydrogen a green hydrogen is the hydrogen generated from the electrolysis of water using renewable energy. It is often referred to as 'the energy of the future'.

Potential for natural hydrogen to meet energy demands

1Minimal, a No carbon footprint especially if using solar energy to generate hydrogen by electrolysis

2Higher thermal efficiency of a hydrogen fuel cell than internal combustion engines

3Reduced dependence on foreign nations for fuel. (G) Green Hydrogen 'travels by India's seen as an alternative to reduce crude dependence.

4Technology to access hydrogen from water already well known and available making it accessible for even poorer nations.

5Ability to combust at higher temperature as a fossil fuel

6Byproducts are water vapour and Oxygen reducing environmental impact.

Still an untapped industry

1Cost to benefit ratio of hydrogen generator still much higher compared to fossil fuel.

2Transportation of hydrogen fuel cause heavy scale on logistics.

3Hydrogen can be transported a carried at sub-zero temperatures only making it difficult.

4Currently grey hydrogen is feasible than green hydrogen making it unsuitable.

5Vehicles and industry need to step fitted with technologies that use hydrogen fuel cell making it costly.

6Fuel cell generation at transportable viges at nascent stage.

Hydrogen fuel hence requires increased A & B to make it a fuel for the present and improved usability

7Currently grey hydrogen is more feasible than green hydrogen making it unsustainable.

(D) Vehicles and industry need to step fitted with technologies that use hydrogen fuel cell making it costly.
