Quality Of Green Hydrogen
Green hydrogen is a type of hydrogen that is produced using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, rather than fossil fuels. The process of producing green hydrogen is known as electrolysis, which involves using an electric current to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Green hydrogen is considered a clean and sustainable energy source as it does not produce greenhouse gas emissions during production or use. It can be used for transportation, industrial processes and power generation.
Green Hydrogen can be used for a variety of applications including transportation (fueling vehicles and ships), industrial processes (such as steel and cement production), and power generation (in fuel cells). It can also be used as a storage medium for excess renewable energy. Additionally, green hydrogen can be used as a chemical feedstock for the production of other chemicals such as ammonia and methanol.
SSB Green Enviro believes that there is a need to further develop technologies to produce green hydrogen and its end-use applications. Green hydrogen / green ammonia could be used in co-firing the thermal power plants and later become the sole source of energy. India aims to achieve production of 5 million tonne of green hydrogen by 2030 and the related development of renewable energy capacity is required (PIB, 2021b), and SSB Green Enviro is already on the path to be a leader in the technology.
