A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) has developed an innovative technology to produce hydrogen from biomass, a renewable energy source.
India uses nearly 50 lakh tonnes of hydrogen for various processes in different sectors, and the hydrogen market is expected to grow substantially in the coming years, said S. Dasappa, Professor at the Centre for Sustainable Technologies and Chair of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Energy Research at IISc., who led the team.
“But most of the hydrogen we currently use comes from fossil fuels through a process called steam methane reforming route.”
