Main Body

National hydrogen mission plans to extract energy from hydrogen in 3 forms - 1. Green hydrogen - electrolysis of hydrogen using renewable energy obtained electricity. Clean energy 2. Blue hydrogen - using methane. This released green hide gas & not totally clean. 3. Grey hydrogen - using non-renewable energy sourced electricity, eg coal. This releases pollutants and is not clean.

Hydrogen produced energy - 1. steam mostly environment-friendly 2. Has high calorific value 3. hydrogen is abundant & early available in form of water, etc Aying to India's rising energy demands due to increased industrialisation due to urbanisation (eg vehicles etc) increasing population and obsolting fossil fuels. National hydrogen mission by producing high calorific value, ie large smart of energy can meet India's demand. Uses of hydrogen - 1. As fuel, eg in CVs-H that reduces

pollution levels by 18%. 2. In fuel cells that are key to clean vehicle movement 3. In electricity form it can be used for ALS manufacturing sector (eg cement production). India's rising energy demands and environmental concern, both lead to logical argument for use of clean fuels as hydrogen, facilitated by National hydrogen mission.
