Global warming has several adverse impacts on climate and if not contained, may result in rising of sea level to a dangerous point when millions will be required to be displaced and rehabilitated. It is also responsible for climatic changes. Green house gases are the reason behind global warming. Carcon dioxide is main green house gas which is added due to continuing use of fossil fuels. To obtain carbon neutrality and Decarbonization, need of the hour is clean and carbon free source of energy. Hydrogen has emerged as a clean fuel as it does not contain carbon. But hydrogen does not occur in pure form in nature and eventually it has to be manufactured. Conventionally, it is manufactured from fossil fuels such as natural gas or coal and process is called steam reforming. This also requires source of energy. Use of fossil fuel results in green house gas. Hydrogen can also be produced by electrolysis of water and source of energy can be renewable energy like solar or wind energy. This obviates adding of greenhouse gas and is a clean process. There are several ways of producing hydrogen depending on raw input and source of energy, which quantify to what extent the produced hydrogen is green. Hydrogen offer variety of applications across many segments of industry. It is worthwhile to evaluate all manufacturing processes and applications of Hydrogen and its potential contribution in Decarbonization.
