Background
Overview
Green hydrogen and ammonia are central to India's energy transition, achieving net-zero targets, enhancing energy security, and developing new industries. UPSC focuses on emerging technologies for sustainable development and their policy implications.
Green hydrogen is produced through the electrolysis of water using renewable energy sources, resulting in zero greenhouse gas emissions during production. Green ammonia is then synthesized from green hydrogen and nitrogen, serving as a crucial derivative for energy storage, transportation, and industrial applications, particularly in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors.
