Main Body

According to IEA's Energy Assessment 2021, as energy demand is going to double in next decade, natural hydrogen can be potential tool of energy security, affordability and sustainability.

Natural hydrogen → trapped in water in H2O → easily accessible and affordable to use the natural hydrogen

Potential of Natural Hydrogen:

(I) Energy availability - easy & access is natural source energy capacity - energy availability - energy sustainability - require less input to generate efficiently fuelled.

(A) Compared to other model of hydrogen (green, blue, grey, black) → this is most affordable, accessible and cost effective to generate electricity

(B) Help to achieve goal of net zero-1st-2050%:

Zero carbon footprint

Helpful in energy corner and energy fuel

4Utilizing is several industrial activities such as fertilizer, chemical and others

5Reducing import bill (ex) India's 74% coal demand through chemical import

6R&D - accelerate scientific advancement (ex) hydrogen fuels came truly/core etc.

Why it is still untapped industry:

1Lack of R&D and innovation on hydrogen fuel → over-dependency on fossil fuels since industrial revolution

2Hard to extract and require sophisticated technology in extraction process

3Hydrogen is dangerous gas → highly flammable and difficult to store → storage at extremely low temperature

4Transportation challenge

5Battery storage and gas problem

6More focus on alternative hydrogen like green hydrogen, Black Grey hydrogen - could be done

Intestine research and development on natural hydrogen

Natural fuel misuse - integrating natural hydrogen with green hydrogen mission

Encourage private sector participation (ex) USA push for natural hydrogen

Natural hydrogen along with other form of hydrogen can become new fuel currency in 21st century
