A major leap toward energy independence! In 2023, India launched an ambitious plan to produce 5 million tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030, aiming to become a global leader in green hydrogen exports.

Breakthrough by IIT Kanpur & Collaborating Institutes:
Led by Prof. Krishanu Biswas (IIT Kanpur), a team of researchers including Dr. Nirmal Kumar Katiyar (IIT Kanpur), Prof. Aditi Halder & Dr. Lalita Sharma (IIT Mandi), Prof. Chandra Sekhar Tiwary & Dr. Rakesh Das (IIT Kharagpur), and Prof. Abhishek K. Singh, Dr. Arko Parui & Dr. Ritesh Kumar (IISc Bangalore) developed a low-cost high-entropy alloy (HEA) anode made of cobalt, iron, gallium, nickel & zinc.

The result?
The new anode retained 80% performance after 10 hours—a massive improvement over traditional ruthenium-oxide-based anodes, which drop to just 30%.

Featured in Nature:
This groundbreaking work was featured in Nature for its potential to revolutionize clean energy production in India.

Visual Idea: 
A cutting-edge clean energy lab in India, researchers in white coats working on hydrogen electrolysis tech, the Indian flag proudly waving, and H₂, solar panels, wind turbines in the background.

Cleaner. Cheaper. Smarter.
The future of hydrogen energy is bright—and proudly made in India.

The importance of green hydrogen is felt in the wider technological community.
