Committee for Coal Based Hydrogen Production

To Prepare Road Map for Coal based Hydrogen Production the Ministry of Coal Constitutes an Expert Committee and Task Force .

Highlights:

On Indias 75th Independence Day, the Prime Minister introduced a Hydrogen Mission. Coal is one of the vital sources of hydrogen making (Brown Hydrogen) aside from Natural Gas (Grey hydrogen) and (Green Hydrogen) through electrolysis.

In the case of renewable energy (green hydrogen), excess Solar Energy is used to electrolyze water into hydrogen and Oxygen

However, Coal has not been prompted elsewhere because of the fear that while extracting hydrogen by coal (from the moisture embedded in coal) there might also be Carbon Emission. Almost

In view of the above situation, the Ministry of Coal has established two committees.
