During a tech talk at Huddle Global 2024 in Thiruvananthapuram, K. Premkumar, a scientist at ANERT, emphasized Kerala's potential to lead India in clean energy adoption, particularly in the transportation sector, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050. The session focused on promoting green hydrogen as a key component of Kerala's climate action strategy, especially for transportation. Green hydrogen, produced by splitting water using renewable energy, offers a carbon-free alternative in sectors like transport, refineries, and manufacturing. ANERT is working on a pilot project to demonstrate the safe use of hydrogen, crucial for addressing safety concerns. The state is also seeking to establish the Kerala Hydrogen Valley Innovation Cluster, pending approval from the Department of Science and Technology, to promote decentralized hydrogen generation from Kochi to Thiruvananthapuram. The potential cost efficiencies of green hydrogen production, estimated to be lower than conventional methods, make it an attractive option for achieving sustainable energy goals.
