HYDROGEN FUEL CELL FOR VEHICLES - its working, benefits and limitations
India has an ambitious ' Green Hydrogen Mission' - to produce 5 million tonnes of fuel annually from 2030. The project aims to reduce dependence on fossil fuels & avert 50 metric tonnes of GHG emissions.
A great chunk of money in this mission has been devoted to developing electrolysers.
Problems:
-Producing 1 kg of this clean fuel needs 8-9 litres of water.
- India needs to enhance its current electrolyser production capacity.
- Access to Rare earth metals is required to scale up electrolyser production capacity.

Export bans on wheat, onion, sugar, non-basmati rice etc & arbitary restrictions by the Government are aimed at controlling food inflation and protecting consumers. But such policy flip flops hurts the interests of farmers, agri traders.
Also building export markets takes time & effort. Therefore economists suggests more predictable & rules based policy for exports.
Exports have fallen from $53.2 bn last fiscal to $48.8 bn this fiscal.
Solutions:
Rational export-import policy is required.
Balancing interests of both producers & consumers.
Policy should include short term as well as long term measures.
Controls, if required should be rules based & temporary.
Buffer stock of essential commodities be created to deal with price voltality.
