“ANALYZING SCOPE AND CHALLENGES OF USING ‘GREEN HYDROGEN’ AS AN ALTERNATIVE CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCE FOR MISSION NET ZERO INDIA”

Abstract

Indian government is committed to its Net Zero mission to be achieved by the year 2070 which emphasizes on bringing down carbon emissions from all possible avenues of the industrial and non industrial sectors of society literally to zero. This seemingly impossible mission heavily relies on usage of renewable energy resources those are completely free from green house gas emissions. Fossil fuels are deceasing in quantum and now need to be quickly replaced by cleaner sources of energy like Green Hydrogen. Hydrogen currently in use is mostly Grey Hydrogen (adding to pollution) and to a certain extent Blue Hydrogen (having dependence on non-renewable energy for production). Both have their own limitations and hence scientists are trying harder to generate more of Green Hydrogen as an alternative clean energy. Production and acceptance of this Green Hydrogen as fuel yet has its own challenges and hence it pulls the attraction of the researchers to analyze its feasibility and contribution towards attaining the Net Zero mission by the targeted period. The research paper titled “Analyzing Scope and Challenges of Using ‘Green Hydrogen’ as an Alternative Clean Energy Resource for Mission Net Zero India” thus aims at analyzing the scope and challenges in applicability of Green Hydrogen as an alternative source of clean energy for India in the upcoming future.
