With a potential for near-zero harmful gas emissions, hydrogen can be produced from varied domestic resources. Emitting only warm air and water vapor, hydrogen can generate electrical power in a fuel cell. This alternative energy source is promising for both transportation and stationary energy sectors. First announced in the Union budget for 2020-21 February, Mr. Modi has planned great heights for Green hydrogen mission in the country.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Prime Minister, Mr. Modi has initiated the launch of a National Hydrogen Mission that aids in the production of carbon-free fuel alternative energy. The target is set to 2047 for the country to become energy self-reliant. He further acknowledged that India spends approximately Rs. 12 lakh crores each year on energy imports and is one of the major criteria to depend on self\u2013produced renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n

A man of foresightedness, he spoke about how a mix of alternative energy sources can boost the Indian economy in the long run. He said, \u201cIndia has to take a pledge that it will be energy self-efficient by the year we celebrate 100th<\/sup> year of independence.<\/p>\n

In the addition to proposing renewable energies at such a big scale, Mr. Modi further added \u201cTo enhance the usage of natural gas it is necessary to build an exhaustive network of CNG and piped natural gas across the nation. Mixing it with 20% ethanol in petrol and electric mobility will create a desirable tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

With an addition of 100 GW of renewable energy capacity ahead of its completion date, Mr. Narendra Modi announced \u2013 \u201cNational Hydrogen Mission\u201d. His vision is to make India an exporter and global hub producer of green hydrogen. He also stated, \u201cGreen hydrogen will give our great country the required quantum jump to achieve its target of mass-producing renewable energies.\u201d<\/p>\n

MNRE has been supporting a broad based Research Development and Demonstration (R&D) programme on Hydrogen Energy and Fuel. Projects are supported in industrial, academic and research institutions to address challenges in production of hydrogen from renewable energy sources, its safe and efficient storage, and its utilization for energy an transport applications through combustion or fuel cells.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

India also proposes to harness more alternative energies like geothermal energy by the end of 2030 through active collaboration with international bodies from Mexico, the Philippines, New Zealand, and the US.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
