Hydrogen is experiencing the unprecedented momentum in the energy sector due to the
current demand for clean energy transitions. All the developed and developing nations are
experiencing a paradigm shift and all set to welcome a new potential substitute for
conventional energy sources. The high demands of hydrogen in future can be realized by the
data that the global hydrogen demand was 87 million metric tons in 2020 and expected to
grow to 500-680 million metric tons by 2050. Since long back, hydrogen is known to be the
most efficient fuel with highest calorific value of around 140 MJ/Kg in comparison to
methane which is having a calorific value of 55 MJ/Kg. Moreover, hydrogen has zero direct
polluting emissions because its burning/oxidation produces water only as byproduct due to its
zero carbon content.
Nowadays hydrogen generation has gained a push and some of the strategic factors behind it
are International drive to limit carbon emissions and continuous decreasing technological cost
for hydrogen production. Currently, around 90-95% of total hydrogen demand is met by
production from fossil fuels which includes reforming and pyrolysis of natural gas, heavy oils
naphtha and coal which is responsible for the CO2 emissions of around 830 million tones per
year. The rising environmental concerns like pollution, global warming, climate change due
to conventional fuels and their depleting conserves provoked the scientific community to look
for green and clean energy alternatives. Therefore, our scientists at NSCI are working
consistently on the development of new methods to generate hydrogen in a more sustainable
and effective way to cater the needs of country and across the globe for clean fuel and
making hydrogen economy a reality.
Let's do something really big with our expertise and your dream together!
