Need for diversified sources of green hydrogen highlighted

 

An article in the Business Line newspaper has highlighted the need for divesifying sources of production of green hydrogen. 

It speaks of the urgent need to look beyond electrolysis and biomass. It mentions microbial and nuclear routes for the production of green hydrogen, which have been completely ignored by the National Green Hydrogen Mission.

The article draws attention to the efforts of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), which is developing an 'Indian molten salt breeder reactor' and an 'Indian high temperature reactor', both of which are capable of producing green hydrogen at a low cost.

The article also laments the ignoring of 'white hydrogen' -- underground, pure elemental hydrogen that can be mined, like natural gas. India, like elsewhere, has lots of it.
