Green hydrogen: Paving the way for India's decarbonization revolution.

Abstract

The potential of green hydrogen to make India self-sufficient and energy-independent is reviewed in this study. We integrated technological advancements, economic analysis, and policy frameworks to provide a comprehensive overview of the green hydrogen landscape in India. This review examines cost reductions in electrolyzer technology, the potential for renewable energy integration, and the socio-economic benefits of green hydrogen adoption. Additionally, the study proposes innovative policy measures tailored to India's unique conditions, such as targeted subsidies and incentives for green hydrogen production and use. The research highlights significant cost reductions and increased renewable power generation as key factors contributing to the economic viability of green hydrogen in India. It underscores the importance of large-scale production and advancements in electrolyzer technology. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the necessity of clear regulatory frameworks, infrastructure development, and financing to support the deployment of a green hydrogen economy in India. By implementing a strategic roadmap for green hydrogen, India can reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and become a major player in the global green hydrogen market. The proposed policy measures and technological advancements are crucial for successfully adopting and deploying green hydrogen, ensuring energy self-sufficiency and long-term economic sustainability for India.
