Main Body
Recently India launched the Green Hydrogen Mission with the aim of producing 5 HMT of energy by 2030.
As per IEA, use will be 2% globally till 2050, increasing as development in Asia, Africa progresses.
Global Energy Demands: Increase in green transition (SDG 13)
Role of hydrogen: to balance demand increase in green transition (SDG 13)
Potential of Natural Hydrogen:
Solves for energy security as supply chain weaponised. Unlike crude oil in West Asia, supply is everywhere with no dependence.
At scale, much cheaper cost vs coal etc.
Difficult to use in industry due to scalability issues - main areas of concern.
Why still untapped industry due to inherent challenges:
Way forward:
Hydrogen can be a futuristic fuel to solve energy security, affordability and transition problem. India should use this opportunity as first mover and be a global leader.
Conclusion
Hydrogen can be a futuristic fuel to solve energy security, affordability and transition problem. India should use this opportunity as first mover and be a global leader.
