End-use applications of green hydrogen : A case study

There is an increased consensus around the world that concerted steps need to be taken for reducing global warming impact by restricting it to 1.5 °C - 2 °C higher than pre-industrial levels. In order to achieve the same, various countries have pledged their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for clean energy transition and reduced emissions and some large economies, including India have committed for net zero targets. This has paved the way for low-carbon technologies to replace existing fossil fuel assets and playing pivotal role in shaping a new energy paradigm. The rising technologies such as solar, wind, lithium-ion batteries, alternative fuels etc, are solidifying their role in decarbonization of various end-use applications, however, in certain sectors such as chemical industry, heavy transport etc application of existing low or zero carbon technologies may not be feasible. The Green Hydrogen / Green Ammonia promises to address these challenges and contribute to the decarbonization of these hard-to-abate sectors.
