Main Body
Source: Potential of natural hydrogen - Green hydrogen, H2O + energyH2. (1) sedimentary basin - near fossil fuel basins. (2) green hydrogen. Potential of natural hydrogen as a fuel - (1) decarbonisation of energy intensive industry like cement, fertilisers etc. (2) natural hydrogen for ammonia production. (3) fuel cells for electric vehicles and energy production
3transportation of heavy vehicles - H2 train in India by December 2025. (4) production of electricity for household consumption. (5) waste management - incineration using green hydrogen. (6) hydrogen as energy carrier. Reasons - untapped hydrogen industry (1) complex extraction process like hazards like [illegible] (2) over reliance on fossil fuels - less funds allocated to hydrogen extraction. (3) problem with logistics - need complex transportation process like cryogenic forms, high pressure vessels. (4) lack of private sector participation in research, development of new hydrogen based technologies like hybrid vehicles. (5) costly for consumers - need retrofitting of existing powerplants, vehicles etc. (6) lack of global government support - lack of consensus on fixed timeline for decarbonisation. (7) complex comparisons for green hydrogen like [illegible] etc. - need titled minerals.
Way forward - research on efficient hydrogen production, funding through PPP, focus on green and blue hydrogen, not grey and black hydrogen. Hydrogen can be helpful in every emission by 42% by 2030 needed for 1.5°C target.
