My research area is about producing green hydrogen using renewable energy and high temperature water electrolysis. My basic PhD is about finding efficient materials for electrolysis technology (non critical raw materials). The broader context of research is Power to X field where X is hydrogen produced from green electricity (solar and wind). This hydrogen is one of the biggest commodity for chemical industry. Specially for producing green ammonia and green methanol.
Sustainability angle of the project is about using clean energy and avoiding the climate impact from global warming issues. Reducing the CO2 emissions and meeting Paris agreement targets by 2050. My research is relevant because there is need of green hydrogen production through electrolysis technology. As of today 97% of hydrogen is produced through fossil fuels, which emits large amount of CO2 in environment, which is not sustainable. The hydrogen produced through electrolysis can be used as a clean energy source, since it only produces water when burned, making it eco-friendly.
I completed my high school back in India. In high school, I was very good in science and maths, and I knew somehow that I want to pursue engineering. I did my bachelor in chemical engineering back in India, then came to DTU for MSc Chemical Engineering. I did chemical engineering, because I always liked chemistry and process industries. My interest in hydrogen technology grew, as when I did intersnhip in Siemens Energy A/S on electrolysis technology. Thus decided to pursue something related to hydrogen. I was always keen student in research and always wanted to learn more and more about hydrogen technology. So my motivation was to do PhD and contribute to the sustainable green hydrogen production through high temperature electrolysis technology.
