'Economics of green hydrogen is very daunting'
Financial Express Mumbai|December 26, 2024
US-based Dastur Energy, which collaborated with the government on carbon capture, utilisation, and storage, is focusing on industrial decarbonisation, renewable energy integration, and clean fossil fuel utilisation as its key growth areas. In an interview with Raghavendra Kamath, Atanu Mukherjee, CEO and president of the company, discusses the opportunities in decarbonisation in India and emerging energy segments.

Green hydrogen has been a buzzword in the country for the past couple of years, but it seems much of it is still on paper. How do you view its progress?

The economics of green hydrogen are quite daunting. Currently, the cost of production, even in the best-case scenario, is not expected to drop below $4 per kg in the near future, making it unviable at that price. This is a fundamental challenge in terms of both the process and economics. Green hydrogen is produced via electrolysis using renewable energy, and when you factor in the cost of the electrolyser, renewable intermittency, and other factors, the price globally ranges from $4 to $7 per kg. This creates a significant gap in the cost of hydrogen production.

What opportunities do you see in India's industrial decarbonisation space?
