Hydrogen Role in Decarbonizing Industries and Transforming India?s Energy Future

Dr. Anju Rathee Ahlawat

Abstract: The primary value proposition of hydrogen lies in its ability to decarbonize hard - to - abate sectors, which have historically lacked feasible technical solutions. Hydrogen can effectively address many of these challenges and complement other efficiency measures. With decreasing costs of renewable electricity and advancements in electrolyser technology, green hydrogen is set to become cost - competitive with existing fuel options. As industries like steel, refining, and ammonia production face pressure to lower their carbon footprints, hydrogen?s significance will only grow. By fulfilling national goals of emission reductions and boosting domestic manufacturing, hydrogen can position India as a global powerhouse for zero - carbon export products, such as green steel and green ammonia. With the right policy support, industry action, and increased investor interest, India has a unique opportunity to lead in the hydrogen energy ecosystem. By positioning itself as a low - cost, zero - carbon manufacturing hub, India can achieve its goals of economic development, job creation, and improved public health, while playing a pivotal role in the global transition to sustainable energy. Hydrogen has the potential to be a cornerstone of India?s energy transition, enhancing industrial competitiveness in an increasingly decarbonized world, driving economic development, reducing CO2 emissions, and improving public health. As major countries invest heavily in hydrogen technologies, India stands poised to take a leadership role in advancing the global hydrogen economy
