Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, visited the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore to emphasize the urgency of reducing the cost of green hydrogen in India. He urged IISc to lead the country in green hydrogen research, aiming to lower the price from the current INR 300-400/kg to INR 100/kg. Minister Joshi commended Professor Dasappa and his team for their innovative green water generator system that produces over 5 kilograms of high-purity green hydrogen per hour using agricultural residues. The Minister connected this innovation to the National Green Hydrogen Mission, backed by substantial investment, which envisions massive green hydrogen production, renewable energy capacity expansion, job creation, and carbon emissions reduction. He stressed the challenges of safe hydrogen storage, cost-effective electrolysis systems, affordable hydrogen vehicles, and accessible refuelling infrastructure. Minister Joshi emphasized the need for specialized research programs and the development of advanced electrolysis units. He applauded IISc for its potential in developing efficient fuel cell technologies and mentioned pilot projects for hydrogen-fuel vehicles and refuelling centers already initiated under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The Minister's positive sentiment towards hydrogen's potential in India's clean energy future was evident in his ambitious goals and faith in technological advancements.
