India, rising power demand and the ‘hydrogen factor’
India, rising power demand and the ‘hydrogen factor’ India’s journey towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 involves massive electrification of energy use and the deployment of low-carbon technologies. A significant focus is now placed on nuclear energy expansion and green/low-carbon hydrogen production as alternatives to fossil fuels in both power generation and industrial applications. Key Highlights: Net-Zero and Electrification: Moving toward a net-zero economy requires electrification of industries currently dependent on fossil fuels — especially steel, fertilizer, and chemical industries. Hydrogen (particularly green/low-carbon hydrogen) is a key substitute molecule in industrial processes. India’s Rising Power Demand: To meet projected electricity…
