PWOnlyIAS

February 15, 2024

Context: 

The ‘Scheme Guidelines for Implementation of Pilot Projects for Use of Green Hydrogen in the Transport Sector‘ have been issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).

Green Hydrogen Scheme Guidelines

  • Use of Green Hydrogen as Fuel: The scheme will support the development of technologies for the use of green hydrogen as a fuel in buses, trucks, and four-wheelers with fuel cell-based or internal combustion engine-based propulsion technology
  • Blending of Methanol or Ethanol: The scheme will also seek to support any other innovative use of hydrogen for reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector, such as blending of methanol or ethanol based on green hydrogen.
  • Total Outlay: The scheme will have a total budgetary outlay of Rs 496 crore till the financial year 2025-26.

What Is Green Hydrogen?

  • Green hydrogen is defined as hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water, that is splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. 
  • Aim: To limit global warming to 1.5C and reduce fossil fuel dependency by replacing green hydrogen.
  • Production: Green hydrogen is traditionally produced from methane (CH4), split with steam into CO2 (Green House Gas) and H2 (Hydrogen).
Additional Reading: Different types of Hydrogen Production:

  • Gray Hydrogen: The most commonly used form of hydrogen today, derived from natural gas and typically uses fossil fuels as the energy source.

Green Hydrogen

  • Blue Hydrogen: Generated with the same process as gray hydrogen, but most of the carbon emitted during its production is “captured” and not released in the atmosphere.
