“…This could prove especially critical if the public has an expressed preference for using hydrogen in commercial applications, as opposed to residential settings [295]. In the same way that blue hydrogen may be viewed as an enabler of green hydrogen [30,302], developing other sectors of the national hydrogen economy may strengthen hydrogen's social standing [303] in the residential context.…”

“…So, India intends to remain in the global hydrogen race. There are numerous obstacles to transforming the current conventional energy economy into the modern hydrogen-based economy (S. K. Kar, Bansal, & Harichandan, 2022). NHER had fixed targets of 1 million hydrogen-based vehicles and 1000 MW of hydrogen-based power generation capacity by 2020 (DST, 2020a).…”

“…The Indian government will implement many hydrogen projects in the transport sector. A recent study (S. K. Kar, Bansal, & Harichandan, 2022) confirms that prospective Indian buyers are willing to adopt hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs), which will excite automobile manufacturers to introduce HFCVs. Toyota is leading the HFCVs race in India and many more automobile manufacturers like Hyundai, Honda, and Tata Motors are going to join the race.…”

India's rapid population growth and steady industrialization mean that energy demand will grow in industry, transport, electricity, and cooling. Due to greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, fossil fuels will be less preferred to meet energy demand and consumption. Significantly, the transport sector will move toward green fuel, including hydrogen. However, most hydrogen is now produced from fossil fuels through partial oxidation or steam reforming natural gas or coal gasification. This article examines the continuous progress of hydrogen regarding its production, storage, and commercialization in India. Given the versatility in nature, hydrogen shall play a crucial role in decarbonizing the Indian economy by 2050. India's hydrogen energy roadmap was envisioned for an operational hydrogen economy by 2020. The objectives of the hydrogen roadmap remained unfulfilled. We found that inadequate infrastructural developments, lack of proactive policies, insufficient investment in the hydrogen value chain, slow market readiness, and a shortage of public awareness have contributed to the hydrogen economy's derailment in India. The proposed National hydrogen energy mission aims to revive India's hydrogen economy. Stakeholders should focus on hydrogen research, development, value chain development, and hydrogen technology commercialization.

“…After electrons reach the cathode plate, they are recombined with hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms in the air to form water. Because of the oxygen supplied to the cathode plate [40,41], these can be obtained from the air. Therefore, as long as hydrogen is continuously supplied to the anode plate, air is supplied to the cathode plate, water (steam) is taken away in time, and electricity can be continuously provided.…”

New energy is the focus of attention all over the world, and research into new energy can inject new vitality into the industrial system. Hydrogen fuel cells are not only environmentally friendly, but also rich in reserves that can be used as a strategic resource for the entire country. The difficulty lies in the safe design of application equipment and the batch generation and storage of hydrogen. In addition, fuel cells have the disadvantage of a slow start-up. Based on the above problems, this paper proposes a hybrid-element method to solve the thermal-mechanical coupling model of fuel cell plate, which can effectively solve the thermal stress change, temperature field distribution and displacement change of the battery plate when working. Firstly, the hybrid-element algorithm is given for 2D plate deformation. Then, the deformation application of a 3D fuel cell plate is given. The 2D numerical results show that the hybrid finite element method (FEM) is more flexible for realizing the flexible combination of sub-mesh and finite element basis functions, and has a better mesh quality compared to the traditional constant strain triangular element (CST) adaptive FEM and quadrilateral isoparametric element (Q4) adaptive FEM. This method achieves a balance between numerical accuracy and solving efficiency for the multi-porous elastic plate. In addition, a deformation control formula is given which can display the displacement deformation and stress merge to same graph, since it is convenient to quickly compare the regions where the displacement and stress extremum appear. In short, the hybrid finite element method proposed in this paper has good mesh evaluation results, and when the number of discrete elements is equivalent, the hybrid element converges faster and the solution efficiency is higher. This paper also provides a good numerical theory and simulation reference for industrial mechanics and new energy applications.
