Climate Change: What’s happening with Hydrogen?

Perspectives

Large oil companies cannot let go of their resources or natural gas. So they are pushing for blue hydrogen, so they can continue to pumping fossil fuels out of the ground for decades to come. China and Europe would compete on green hydrogen, however, most likely with solar domination; China would control the green hydrogen market. According to news, they have started investing in large scale electrolysers, which would reduce costs in say 10 years. Europe has offshore wind plus hydrogen, but that cannot be scaled around the world. Solar plus electrolyser is the way to go.

India peak power demand: Deficit or Surplus ?

Perspectives

Many of us believe we have excess capacity in Indian power sector. We see the numbers – installed capacity of 377 GW and think peak load is only 183 GW, we have too much capacity. Capacity utilisation (PLF) is only 50-60 % for most coal power plants, so first let them get to higher capacity utilisation. But when we look in detail, there can be peak power deficit, and hence there can be blackouts in some regions.
