INTRODUCTION:
Hydrogen production involves utilizing a variety of feedstocks, both renewable and non- renewable, through diverse processes that yield varying levels of greenhouse gas emissions. 1 The usage of traditional fossil fuels like oil for energy generation leads to a notable increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The combustion of these fuels releases substantial amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, exacerbating atmospheric warming and impacting global temperatures. The issue of global warming is of paramount importance on the international stage, and India, representing approximately 36% of the global population, is actively engaged in efforts to mitigate its effects. The adverse ramifications of the climate crisis encompass elevated temperatures, ecological degradation, erratic rainfall patterns, and population displacement.2 The primary challenge in curbing emissions within energy sectors arises from the heavy dependence on fossil fuels, which account for the majority of CO2 emissions across various sectors such as electricity generation, construction, heating, transportation, and industrial processes.3 The predominant hurdle in mitigating emissions within energy sectors stems from the extensive reliance on fossil fuels, which constitute the main source of CO2 emissions across diverse sectors including electricity generation, construction, heating, transportation, and industrial processes.4
