What is green hydrogen ?

Hydrogen is a key industrial fuel that has a variety of applications including the production of ammonia (a key fertilizer), steel, refineries and electricity. However, all of the hydrogen manufactured now is the so-called 'black or brown' hydrogen produced from coal. Grey hydrogen is produced from natural gas while 'Blue' hydrogen is from fossil fuel sources where the ensuing carbon emitted is captured via carbon-capture processes. Green hydrogen is when hydrogen is produced via electrolysis, the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar or wind. This is the most environmentally sustainable way of producing hydrogen.

What is National Green Hydrogen Mission ?

The intent of the mission is to incentivise the commercial production of green hydrogen and make India a net exporter of the fuel. The mission has laid out a target to develop the green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 MMT (Million Metric Tonnes) per annum. This is alongside adding renewable energy capacity of about 125 GW (gigawatt) in the country. This will entail the decarbonisation of the industrial, mobility and energy sectors; reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and feedstock; developing indigenous manufacturing capabilities; creating employment opportunities; and developing new technologies such as efficient fuel cells.

By 2030, the Centre hopes its investments will bring in investments worth Rs. 8 trillion and create over six lakh jobs. Moreover about 50 MMT per annum of CO2 emissions are expected to be averted by 2030. As per its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement, India has committed to reduce emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030, from 2005 levels.

Several major industrial houses have announced plans to facilitate India's adoption of green hydrogen. However, they are all premised on India being able to access a reliable stream of components, upgrading the manufacturing and skill levels of its small and medium manufacturing enterprises and developing a transmission network that can supply the hydrogen produced from supply-spots to industrial centres across the country. Many advanced economies, which have also announced plans and policies to develop such an economy and given their advanced industrial infrastructure, can steal a march over India.

Green hydrogen development is still in the nascent stages globally and while India can take the lead in being a major producer, provided it develops the necessary infrastructure to execute all these intermediary steps.

"This is the most powerful, meaningful work we have seen', the famous artist exclaimed to the crowd. 'This is a picture of what could have been a dystopian future. One which offers no hope. However, students, do you see how it has been torn up and repositioned ? This signifies that our visionary here, Kabir, has refused to accept any ugly forecast. His picture tells us that we can tear it up and start afresh. Think afresh. Find new solutions. Think of extraordinary ways to make it a more beautiful world. Thank you Kabir".

Principal De murmured too, 'Thank you, Kabir.' She was, however, on the microphone, and therefore the whole crowd of students followed her lead. Hundreds of young voices rang out as one. 'Thank you, Kabir.'

Kabir stood there and grinned. He waved his trophy. He bowed. He did a namaste. When the applause did not die down, he even did a couple of cartwheels.

A GIRL'S GARDEN

A NEIGHBOUR of mine in the village

likes to tell how one spring

When she was a girl on the farm, she did

A childlike thing.

One day she asked her father

To give her a garden plot

To plant and tend and reap herself,

And he said, "Why not ?"

In casting about for a corner

He thought of an idle bit

Or walled-off ground where a shop had stood,

And he said, "Just it."

And he said, "That ought to make you

An ideal one-girl farm,

And give you a chance to put some strength

On your slim-jim arm".

It was not enough of a garden,

Her father said, to plough;

So she had to work it all by hand,

But she don't mind now.

She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow

Along a stretch of road;

But she always ran away and left

Her not-nice load,

And hid from anyone passing.

And then she begged the seed.

She says she thinks she planted one

Of all things but weed.

A hill each of potatoes,

Radishes, lettuce, peas,

Tomatoes, beets, beans, pumpkins, corn.

And even fruit trees.

And yes, she was long mistrusted

That a cider apple tree

In bearing there today is hers,

Or at least may be.

Her crop was a miscellany

When all was said and done,

A little bit of everything,

A great deal of none.
