Green Hydrogen Production Utilizing Solar Energy and Other Renewable Energy Sources, Addressing Climate Change Mitigation

The Industrial Revolution has brought about significant technological and economic progress. Still, it has also led to a notable rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming and climate change. Industrialisation, urbanisation, and agricultural expansion have increased energy demands and raised environmental concerns. In response, clean energy technologies such as solar and wind power are increasingly replacing fossil fuels. India, the third-largest emitter of carbon dioxide and a significant energy consumer, requires a diverse range of renewable energy sources to achieve its decarbonization targets. The transition to sustainable energy involves zero-emissions electricity systems and low-emission carriers, including biogas and hydrogen, as well as electric vehicles. Hydrogen has the potential to decarbonise both the stationery and mobility sectors, including shipping and aviation. To maximise the benefits of green hydrogen, issues related to costs, infrastructure, and scalability must be addressed. Greater support from governments and industry stakeholders for research and development is crucial to making hydrogen technologies more accessible and effective in achieving decarbonization goals.
