What is Green Hydrogen

Introduction to Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen can be produced using renewable energy sources,
offering a clean and versatile fuel for various applications.
It has the capacity to revolutionize our energy systems, mitigating climate
change and fostering a sustainable future.

What is Green Hydrogen Technology:

Imagine a world where energy production is no longer reliant on fossil fuels
and where clean, abundant, and sustainable power drives our progress.
This is the realm of green technologies, encompassing green hydrogen and
nuclear fusion, which promise to revolutionize the way we generate and
consume energy.

History of Green Hydrogen:

The concept of green hydrogen emerged in the late 20th
century as renewable energy gained prominence. Milestones include
advancements in electrolysis technology, the deployment of pilot projects,
and the contributions of researchers, governments, and companies like
Siemens and Nel Hydrogen.

What is Green Hydrogen made from

Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis, a process that uses
renewable electricity to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
Electrolysis is a process used to produce hydrogen gas by splitting water
molecules into their part, hydrogen and oxygen.

This hydrogen can then be stored and used as a clean energy source for
various applications, such as transportation and power generation.
Another way is reverse electrolysis. Here, Hydrogen fuel cell operate by
combining hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, and release only
water vapor.

So, the overall life cycle involves

1. Electrolysis to obtain hydrogen.
2. Compression: To compress hydrogen into liquid form. Pressure of
700 bar is required to compress hydrogen gas into liquid.
3. Transportation-storage: This is a very important and critical part.
Hydrogen as a light and reactive gas, can emit very fast. So, one
needs to make sure that it is compressed and transported through a
robust vehicle.
4. Fuel cell-reverse electrolysis
5. Conversion of electricity (AC/DC conversion)

What is Green Hydrogen and Blue Hydrogen

Hydrogen is very reactive and not available as a single molecule.
But hydrogen can be obtained by various other elements like water,
methane gas etc.
Based on the source, which was taken and the source which was used as
energy for separating hydrogen from another element, it’s termed
differently.
Green Hydrogen: It is made by using clean electricity from surplus
renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to electrolyze
water.
Grey Hydrogen: It is created using natural gas. Here steam
reformation is used and carbon, which is also produced as an output, is
released back.
Blue Hydrogen: Here hydrogen is produced mainly from natural gas.
Here also, Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) or Auto Thermal
Reforming (ATR) is used. But CO2 is ‘captured’ and then stored. So,
during Blue Hydrogen production, CO2 is not released in atmosphere.
Capturing of CO2 is done by a process called ‘Carbon Capture Usage
and Storage (CCUS).
Pink Hydrogen: Here hydrogen is generated through electrolysis,
which is powered by nuclear energy.

Black and Brown Hydrogen: Hydrogen, which is made using fossil
fuels (coal etc.), is called black or brown hydrogen.

 

Advantages of Green Hydrogen:

1. Decarbonization: Green hydrogen enables the decarbonization of
sectors dependent on fossil fuels, leading to reduced emissions.

Green hydrogen production emits no greenhouse
gases, helping to combat climate change.

This will help in ESG. Read more about ESG at

www.raktimsingh.com/what-is-esg-environmental-social-and-corporate-governance/

2. Energy Storage: Hydrogen can store surplus renewable energy,
addressing the intermittency of renewable sources and supporting a
more stable grid.

Hydrogen can be stored and used as a reliable
energy carrier, enabling a flexible and resilient energy system.
For long range vehicles like bus or truck, powering with electricity will mean
that they need to store heavy batteries.
Also, recharging those batteries take lot of time.
On the other hand, carrying green hydrogen in big quantity is easy as
overall weight of the vehicle doesn’t increase very much.
Also, like a petrol pump, there can be fuel pumps, which can recharge
hydrogen very fast.

3. Versatility: Green hydrogen can be utilized in various sectors,
including transportation, industry, and power generation. So, it can be
used in various industries like steel, chemical and transportation
industries.

4. Economic Opportunities: The green hydrogen sector fosters job
creation, stimulates technological advancements, and contributes to
the growth of a sustainable economy.

What is Green Hydrogen used for :

Imagine driving a car powered by hydrogen fuel cells, where the only
byproduct is water vapor, contributing to cleaner air and reduced carbon
emissions.

Companies Using Green Hydrogen:

Plug Power, a leading company in the hydrogen fuel cell industry, focuses
on developing hydrogen solutions for various applications, including
transportation and energy storage.

Industries using Green Hydrogen:

Transportation, specifically in the form of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, is a
prominent industry utilizing green hydrogen. Additionally, industries
requiring high-temperature heat for processes like metal production can
benefit from green hydrogen.
Green Technologies have the potential to be adopted by a wide range of
industries, like:
Renewable energy integration, grid balancing, ammonia
production, chemical manufacturing, and heat-intensive industries like steel
and glass production.

Other technologies related to Green Hydrogen:

other renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and tidal power, as they
often provide the necessary electricity for green hydrogen production and
fusion reactor operations.
Energy Storage Systems: Efficient energy storage systems, such as
batteries and advanced flywheels, complement green technologies by
facilitating the integration of renewable energy into the grid.

Challenges related to Green Hydrogen

1. High cost: Platinum and Iridium are required to prepare electrolyte,
which is used during electrolysis. Also, Electrolysis process require
energy from renewable resources. All this make production of green
hydrogen costly.
2. Less Efficiency: Overall life cycle involves electrolysis, compression
& storage, transportation, reverse electrolysis, AC/DC conversion.
Due to all these processes, overall process is not efficient.

3. Safety Issue: Hydrogen is very volatile and flammable element. So,
utmost care should be taken to avoid explosion and leakage.
4. If used in vehicle, water, which is an output of this process, may
freeze in cold conditions and can damage the vehicle or may not
work during winter season.

While green technologies offer immense potential, there may be situations
where they are not the optimal choice.
For example, in regions with limited access to renewable energy sources,
the production of green hydrogen may not be as viable.

Future of Green Hydrogen:

Green Hydrogen is poised to revolutionize the global energy landscape.
Advancements in renewable energy sources, electrolysis technology, and
fusion research is driving the development and deployment of these
technologies.
In the future, green hydrogen could power a vast fleet of zero-emission
vehicles, enable efficient energy storage, and replace fossil fuels in various
industries.

Conclusion:

Green hydrogen holds tremendous promise for a sustainable
future.

They offer clean, abundant, and versatile energy sources that can mitigate
climate change, reduce pollution, and provide long-term energy security.
While this technology face challenges and require further development, it
represent crucial steps towards achieving a greener and more sustainable
world.
By embracing and investing in these innovative solutions, we can power a
future where energy production aligns harmoniously with environmental
preservation.
Let us embark on this journey towards a greener tomorrow, where the
power of green technologies illuminates our path to a brighter future.

What is Generative AI

Introduction to generative AI

Generative AI is a type of artificial Intelligence. It helps users to quickly
generate new content like text, image, code, video, or any other type of
data based on the input given.

Interesting Things about Generative AI:

1. Creative Outputs: Generative AI can produce unique and original
outputs such as artwork, music, and writing, often surprising humans with
its creativity.
2. Personalization: Generative AI can generate personalized
recommendations, advertisements, and user experiences based on
individual preferences and behaviors.
3. Collaborative Potential: Generative AI can be used as a collaborative
tool, enabling humans and machines to work together in creating innovative
and imaginative solutions.

4. Till now, one argument was that machine can do the things, which can
be properly defined within an ‘If than Else’ rule.
So, machines can’t generate new poems, story, image, video etc.
Human can create new poems, story etc., as human have intuition or say a
creative mind. I call this as human having or adding randomness in these
creations.
Now machines have also learned to add randomness, while creating a text,
image, story, or video etc.
A systematic way to generate random output.
5. In simple way, one can think of generative AI as the best form to
‘autocomplete’ a sentence. That is, based on the previous data(word), it
predicts, what can be the next data (word).

What is Generative AI:

Generative AI is an exciting field that focuses on teaching machines to be
creative and produce original content.
It involves training algorithms to generate new and unique outputs, ranging
from art and music to realistic human-like conversations.
Here input is supplied as prompt to the machine or generative AI system.

Generative AI models are trained with huge set of data.
During that, parameters of these models learn the patterns and structure of
their training data.
Later, for various prompts, they can generate new data.

History of Generative AI:

Generative AI has its roots in various fields, including machine learning,
neural networks, and computer graphics. Milestones in its development
include the invention of deep learning algorithms, breakthroughs in
generative adversarial networks (GANs), and variational autoencoders.
Pioneers and companies such as Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and
OpenAI have significantly contributed to its advancement.

What is variational autoencoder:

Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is a generative model which is used to
generate new sample data using past data. Variational autoencoders are
probabilistic generative models.
It consists of two types of neural networks, namely Encoder and Decoder.
Here Encoder, produces multiple different samples for the given input. It
does this by mapping the input variable to a latent space that corresponds
to the parameters of a variational distribution. In other words, we can say
that input data is mapped to latent variables not by a discreet value but with
range of possible values.
On the other hand, the decoder generates data points. It is able to do so by
mapping the latent space to the input space.
Both Encoder and Decoder are trained together.
To sum up, we can say that VAEs work by first compressing the input data
into a lower dimension space (with Encoder) and later generating new data
by sampling from this space (Decoder).

What is Diffusion model:

These are generative models. It determines vectors in latent space through
a two-step process during training. These are forward diffusion and reverse
diffusion. In forward diffusion, we add random data, noise to the input data
training data.

In reverse diffusion, we remove or reverse the random noise, data to
recreate the data. Diffusion model is also known as ‘denoising diffusion
probabilistic models (DDPMs)’.

What is Generative adversarial network:

These were developed in 2014. Here two neural networks, namely
Generator and Discriminator are pitted against each other.
So, the generator creates data say an image and the discriminator tries to
figure out faults with that image. That is, Discriminator tires to find out
whether the image is real or not and what are the differences.
These two models are trained together in as continuous iterative way until
the generated content is same as the existing content.

Diffusion model vs Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) vs
Variational Autoencoder

Diffusion models are large scale, flexible, can help in training multiple
layers and produced best output for generalized use cases. But as they
involve, reverse sampling process, they are relatively slow.
Variational Autoencoder can generate images faster, but those images are
not detailed as say, which is generated by diffusion model.
Generative Adversarial network can generate high quality data quickly. But
their sample diversity is weak. Hence, they are used in domain specific
data.

Types of Deep Learning

What is Transformer network:

They are designed to process sequential data.
Two things, which are important in this context are ‘self-attention’ and
‘positional encoding’. They help the model to focus on how words relate to
each other in a long sentence.

Self-attention gives weightage to each part of the input. That is the
importance of that input word in that sentence.
Positional encoding represents the order in which input words occur.
A transformer is made up of multiple transformer layers, like self-attention
layer, feed forward layer, normalization layer etc.
All these works together to understand, decipher the input tokenized data
and predict next.
Data can be text, image or for that matter protein sequence.

How does generative AI Work:

Generative AI typically employs deep learning models, such as GANs and
variational autoencoders (VAEs).
These models are trained on large datasets to learn patterns and generate
new content. GANs, for instance, consist of a generator network that
produces samples and a discriminator network that evaluates their
authenticity, leading to an iterative learning process.

poem or draw a new picture.
4. Virtual Characters: In the realm of gaming and entertainment,
generative AI can create virtual characters with realistic behaviors, enabling
immersive experiences and interactive storytelling.

5. Synthetic data creation: For various AI (artificial Intelligence) models,
training data is very important. But in many cases, either the data is not
available or is restricted or does not have enough diverse set of examples.
With Generative AI, one can create generative data for various use cases.

Generative AI examples:
