It is time that everybody world over realize that Global Warming scenario is much more serious than expected by the scientific community. The major two contributors for the emission of greenhouse gases responsible for global warming are the power sector and surface transportation, i.e., automobiles using diesel, petrol and gas. Fusil fuels used in the thermal power plants, coal or gas – based, are the ones which emit carbon dioxide, a “popular” greenhouse gas. India government has a separate ministry called The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to promote alternate routes, such as solar, wind, etc. for generation of electricity. It is reported that the government is also setting up a National Centre for Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Technology for carrying out the necessary R & D in the field of using “clean energy” (without emission of any greenhouse gases) from the application of hydrogen for meeting the energy requirements.
Governments, world-over should wake up to the reality, and develop / promote, on war footing, the hydrogen generation / storage capacity using appropriate technologies, and co-ordinate the efforts in this all important issue to prevent further global warming.
