IIT ISM Dhanbad and the Geological Survey of India (GSI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to conduct research on natural hydrogen resources in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Led by IIT ISM's Applied Geophysics Department, the project aims to explore geological formations that could host natural hydrogen reservoirs. Natural hydrogen is seen as a promising clean energy source crucial for India's renewable energy landscape. The collaboration intends to advance subsurface energy storage solutions while supporting broader climate goals. By leveraging academic expertise and advanced technology, the initiative seeks to contribute to India's energy needs and climate targets through sustainable energy practices.
