The global energy landscape is witnessing a rapid shift towards sustainable and renewable energy sources to combat the pressing challenges of climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Amidst this transition, hydrogen has emerged as a prominent clean energy source with the potential to replace fossil fuels and decarbonize energy-intensive sectors like transportation, power, and heavy industries. The article explores the various processes involved in hydrogen production, including grey, blue, black, and green hydrogen, identifying green hydrogen from water electrolysis as the most suitable for the Net-zero mission. While most hydrogen is currently produced from fossil fuels globally, there is a growing trend towards investing in hydrogen and fuel cells as a cleaner alternative. The article specifically focuses on India's endeavors to leverage green hydrogen in achieving energy independence by 2047. Green hydrogen is increasingly being seen as a viable option to replace fossil fuels in critical sectors like transportation, shipping, and steel. However, despite the immense potential of green hydrogen, there are numerous challenges hindering its widespread adoption. These challenges range from technological and regulatory barriers to infrastructural limitations and financial constraints. Efforts from both the government and the industry are crucial in overcoming these obstacles and scaling up the development of green hydrogen. The transition to a green hydrogen economy requires a holistic approach that addresses barriers across multiple dimensions. Research literature and insights from industry experts are vital in understanding and navigating the complexities associated with this transition. The article indicates that a comprehensive analysis of the interrelationships among these challenges is essential to facilitate a successful shift towards green hydrogen. The use of advanced multi-criteria decision-making techniques can systematically analyze these complex relationships and assist in devising effective strategies to overcome barriers in the green hydrogen sector.
