New Delhi: An expert panel constituted by the government has suggested that India has enough potential to produce hydrogen from domestic coal and the country should strongly pursue this option.
This assumes significance in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi annoucing hydrogen mission on India’s 75th Independence Day.
Hydrogen is a clean fuel and can serve as a possible substitute to liquid and fossil fuels. It is also the most abundant element in the universe, making up more than 90 per cent of all known matters.
“India has an opportunity to produce hydrogen from domestic coal and we may aggressively pursue this option in our overall hydrogen ecosystem,” the expert committee said in its report on roadmap for coal to hydrogen production.
