Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala has the potential to lead the country in clean energy adoption, particularly in the transport sector, to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, said K. Premkumar, scientist at ANERT, during a tech talk at Huddle Global 2024. The session, titled "Green Hydrogen: Fuelling the Future with Clean Energy in an AI Era," focused on Kerala's ambitious plans to promote green hydrogen, especially for transportation, as part of its climate action strategy. However, Premkumar emphasized that a pilot project is necessary to demonstrate the safe use of hydrogen, given ongoing concerns about its safety.
