Maurits Van Tol, CEO of Catalyst Technologies, a division of Johnson Matthey (JM), emphasized the importance of utilizing biomass to facilitate India's energy transition towards hydrogen production. He highlighted the abundance of agricultural residue in India that can be converted into useful components through advanced technology. Van Tol also pointed out India's potential in solar energy, suggesting the construction of large solar parks to generate renewable electricity at scale, thereby enabling cost-effective green hydrogen production. By integrating various resources like biomass, wind, and solar power, India can accelerate decarbonisation efforts and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The synergy between low-cost electricity and low-carbon hydrogen production not only enhances competitiveness but also opens doors to potential export avenues. This strategic focus on cleaner energy sources underscores a shift towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy landscape in India.
