Abstract: Fossil fuels have been mankind’s primary source of energy for centuries now. However, due to this heavy reliance on fossil fuels as our main energy source, their sources are depleting rapidly and will soon run out. This will create an extremely large void for which we need to start bracing immediately. Hence, the way ahead is renewable energy. Being one of the most abundant elements on Earth, Hydrogen is increasingly being sought not only as a potential solution to the problems of the present global energy system but also to scale up other renewable energies. This paper chiefly focuses on Hydrogen as a clean source of energy and India’s great potential to become a leading exporter of Hydrogen in the future. The current scenario suggests that Hydrogen is a mixed bag with heavy R&D costs and elemental unavailability on one hand but, with strong advantages on the other hand in the form of zero carbon emissions and the scope of becoming the fuel that supports the country’s industrial backbone.
