 Idea/Approach Details
We are looking for a solution that how can BHARAT produce Green
Hydrogen as a fuel?:
⮚In India, mostly Hydrogen is produced by the steam reforming method which
results in significant carbon dioxide emissions. Production of hydrogen
through electrolysis is the most acceptable solution.
⮚For mass production of green hydrogen through electrolysis, immense
electricity will be required. And our idea is mainly focused on this. By
electrolysis, the production of oxygen (along with hydrogen) is not only good
for the environment but also brings trading opportunities by supplying
oxygen to hospitals and other required areas as well.
⮚The electricity required for the mass production of hydrogen will be derived
from the waste-to-energy power plant. A total of 14 such power plants have
been installed in India, out of which seven plants were closed due to a huge
gap between the quantity and quality of waste that different states are
generating.
⮚In India, waste has high moisture content and low calorific value about 1,411
kcal/kg to 2150 kcal/kg. But it could be improved by using Refused Derived
Fuel (an advanced derivative of Municipal Solid Wastes (MSW)) which has
very low moisture content and higher calorific value (3564-4083 kcal/kg).
 Renewable Energy Source: Green hydrogen production
begins with a clean energy source such as solar, wind, or
hydropower.
 Electrolysis: Electrolyser split water () into hydrogen () and
oxygen () using electricity.
 Water Supply: A controlled water supply system is essential
to ensure a steady feedstock for electrolysis.
 Energy Management: Sophisticated energy management
systems optimize electricity usage, allowing the electrolyser
to operate efficiently.
 Hydrogen Purification: After electrolysis, purification
processes like pressure swing adsorption or membrane
separation are employed to remove impurities and isolate
high-purity hydrogen.
 Storage and Transportation: Green hydrogen can be stored
in compressed gas or liquid form and transported via
pipelines or tanker trucks to end-users.
 Idea/Approach Details
Describe your Use Cases here
⮚ According to our research if a city of area 206 produces
an average MSW of 391.9 tons/day then, net generated
electric power will be 466.263 MWh/day from waste-to-
energy power plant (by considering all the allowances
viz., station service allowances, unaccounted heat losses,
conversion efficiency of the power plant= 31.6%).
⮚ Now, 50 kwh of electricity is required to produced 1 kg of
hydrogen then by assuming overall efficiency of 60%,
466263.808kwh of electricity would produce 5596.16 kg
of pure hydrogen per day from a single city.
⮚ A new catalyst (NiFeMo-P-C), is designed to lower the
amount of energy require for the electrolysis of water,
which splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen
using electricity.
⮚ In this way this idea will might help India to achieve its
aim to become a global hub for Green Hydrogen by
producing 5 MMT annually by 2030.
Describe your Dependencies / Show stopper here
⮚ Dendro liquid energy (DLE) is probably the most
promising up-and-coming, near zero emissions
waste to energy technology that treat wastes
biologically. DLE plants operate at moderate
temperatures between , which makes them 4
times more efficient in generating electricity.
⮚ Proper waste collection method, source
segregation and sufficient financial support and
policies should be employed.
⮚ To produce 1kg Hydrogen, about 9 Lit. of water is
required.
⮚ We have a solution of reducing pollution, emitted
from plants. Whatever be the pollutant particles
emitted from waste to energy plant will get
absorbed in Water-Bed where dense polluted
particles like Sulphur, etc., get absorbed in the
water and by proper filtration we can use this
water further.
