For these companies, the wait for green hydrogen is over – EQ Mag
Government’s allocation of ₹19,744 crore has given the much-needed boost Over the last couple of years, India saw a plethora of announcements for green hydrogen. Companies announced their plans forming partnerships to get into electrolysers manufacturing for green hydrogen or for the production of green hydrogen. For biggies like Reliance and Adani, green hydrogen represents […]
Know your hydrogen – EQ Mag
Hydrogen is the lightest and the most abundant element in the universe and is what the stars are mostly made of. It has one proton, one electron and no neutron. However, very few hydrogen atoms do have one neutron – such hydrogen is called Deuterium. Even fewer have two neutrons and those are called Tritium. […]
The Truth Behind European Big Oil’s Bet On Hydrogen – EQ Mag
European governments are betting increasing amounts of cash on a hydrogen revolution. Report: Of the refining sector’s €39 billion in planned investments in alternative fuels till 2030, nearly 75% will go towards increasing biofuels production. The lion’s share of big oil’s green investments in downstream is focusing on bringing down carbon-intensity of their refinery operations. […]
Green Hydrogen: An Opportunity for India-Africa Cooperation – EQ Mag
Although India and Africa have long shared close ties, engagement between the two regions is yet to reach its full potential. However, amid the global green transition and attempts to enhance energy security, green hydrogen—increasingly seen as the ‘fuel of the future’—could provide a new avenue for cooperation between the regions. Such a partnership, focused […]

Study finds record efficiency in using artificial photosynthesis to make hydrogen – EQ Mag
A study published has reported a way to achieve a relatively high efficiency in an artificial photosynthesis reaction in which water is split into oxygen and hydrogen using sunlight and a catalyst. The technique is called photocatalysis. Were this to work to plan, it could help lower the cost of green hydrogen. India’s Union Cabinet […]
