An Efficient method to produce Green Hydrogen by Electrolysis Method

Abstract

Green hydrogen is called the fuel of the future as it has the ability to power the hard to electrify sectors like industries, transportation and building contributing around 65% of yearly greenhouse gas emission. The process by which Green Hydrogen is produced is called Water Electrolysis. The technique involves “breaking” of the water molecules using electricity in an electrolyser to extract the dihydrogen (H2). The electricity used must be carbon-free to consider the hydrogen produced as green. Green hydrogen is a clean energy source that emits only water vapor and leaves behind no residue in the air, like coal and oil. The produced hydrogen is ready for use in direct applications like transport and steel production and in direct power applications like fuels, fertilizers and is a great replacement for natural gas. India is well positioned to be a major green hydrogen production center considering the ample amount and the low-cost of the renewable resources that would allow for some of the lowest green hydrogen prices in the world.
