Introduction
India has set a goal of becoming energy independent by 2047 and Net Zero by 2070. To achieve this goal, boosting the usage of renewable energy across all economic sectors is critical to India’s Energy Transition. Green hydrogen is regarded as a viable option for facilitating this change. Hydrogen can be used for long-term renewable energy storage, as a fossil fuel replacement in industry, for clean transportation, and potentially for decentralized power generation, aviation, and maritime transport.
