Opinion: A new beginning for hydrogen around the corner

Globally, as countries look for options to reduce emissions and achieve climate targets, hydrogen is emerging as the frontrunner for decarbonisation strategies. Hydrogen has, indeed, come a long way from 2019, when only Korea, Japan, and France had hydrogen-specific policies, to today, with 31 governments having released their hydrogen strategies. There is a heightened interest in hydrogen, with many business entities, the world over, tapping into the hydrogen market. Having announced its intention to reach net zero by 2070, it’s imperative that India now scales up the adoption of hydrogen in its energy suite.
