Question 15DiscussGS3GS1

15. क्षणिक शक्तिक ऊर्जा भाग को पूरा करने के लिए ईधन के रूप में प्राकृतिक हाइड्रोजन की क्षमता की व्याख्या कीजिए? यह अभी भी एक अपूर्ण उद्योग क्यों है? (उत्तर 250 शब्दों में दीजिए) Disucss the potential of natural hydrogen as a fuel to meet growing global energy demands? Why is it still an untapped industry? (Answer in 250 words)

Introduction

As per IPCC Report, 2023 world temperature has already reached 1.2°C above pre-industry levels. This calls for need to harness alternative cleaner fuels to mitigate further global warming.

Main Body

# POTENTIAL OF NATURAL HYDROGEN :-

1Huge reserves present in form of :

Rock traps

Metal hydrides in ocean floor etc.

2High calorific value in comparison to other fuels like coal, oil.

3Clean energy source

Avoid of any GHGs

No ashes / fumes produced.

4Diversifies the energy basket

[Example: Currently India draws 50% energy demand from coal]

5"Fuel for the future"

can be utilized in industry, space rockets etc.

# DESPITE THE HUGE POTENTIAL, STILL AN UNTAPPED INDUSTRY BECAUSE :-

1Huge capital front cost

Natural hydrogen extraction requires huge investments

2Lack of R&D

[Example: India spends only 0.7% of GDP on R&D]

3Unwillingness by the private sector due to :

i) Lack of incentives

ii) High gestation period of exploration.

4Status Quo - culture

Restrains the ability to innovate and explore.

5Greater focus being given on

Solar, Wind, Nuclear

# STEPS NEEDED :-

1National Green Hydrogen Mission must be pursued with full commitment

2PPP - Public Private Partnership

[Example: Adani - Gujarat hydrogen plant]

3Greater incentives to industry to adopt hydrogen as the fuel.

Hydrogen can prove to be a great asset for India's Panchamrut Goals and Net Zero by 2070
