Hydrogen Economy 

An average car consumes about 20kg of gasoline to travel a distance of 300km while a hydrogen fuel-based car does the same job with just 5kg [1]. The price of gasoline is around USD 2.0 per kg in the international market while it is half in the case of H2, in addition, there is a huge difference in the production cost of the two fuels [2, 3, 4]. Use of H2 will make the world safer and more habitable, it is green and renewable. 

H2 economy has three different areas in which work is progressing. 

1. Hydrogen generation 

2. Hydrogen storage 

3. Hydrogen utilisation 

My research road map involves,

a. Development of a stable, cost-effective and efficient catalyst with commercial viability and sustainability 

b. Working on storage solutions 

c. Hydrogen utilisation and overall close loop for hydrogen economy.
