During a high-level meeting on the government's green hydrogen R&D scheme in New Delhi, Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy R. K. Singh stressed the importance of improving electrolyser efficiency and investigating cost-effective solutions for green hydrogen production.
The summit, attended by key government, academic, and business partners, sought to concentrate efforts towards the National Green Hydrogen Mission's research and development goals. In addition to assuring safety and integration within the energy industry, Singh emphasised the need for coordinated efforts across institutions to prioritise research topics that support the production, storage, transport, and application of green hydrogen.
"Increasing efficiency of electrolyzers is a key aspect which needs to be looked into to bring down the cost of green hydrogen," Singh said, underscoring the potential of sea-water electrolysis and modifications to internal combustion engines (ICE) to accommodate hydrogen derivatives as promising research avenues.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy presented over 40 problem statements across four categories – production, storage & transport, applications and safety, cross-cutting analysis & integration – to identify priority areas for the mission's initial R&D projects.
The meeting facilitated discussions on forming consortiums to tackle various segments of the green hydrogen value chain, with the R&D projects categorized into mission mode projects (0 – 5 years horizon), grand challenge projects (0 – 8 years), and blue sky projects (0 – 15 years), aiming to establish centres of excellence and accelerate the mission's goals.
