🌟 Just attended (19/10/2023) the Prof. M C Ramaswamy Memorial Endowment Lecture on HYDROGEN IN ENGINES by Er. G SENTHIL KUMAR, Assistant General Manager at Ashok Leyland's Engine Development Centre, Chennai. 🚗 🔍 The lecture delved into the remarkable world of Hydrogen Internal Combustion (H2IC) engines, which are transforming the landscape of clean and efficient transportation. 🌱 💡 Key Takeaways: 👉 Hydrogen IC engines harness the power of hydrogen as a fuel source, replacing traditional gasoline and diesel. This clean-burning fuel generates only water vapor as a byproduct when burned, making it an environmentally friendly alternative. 👉 The combustion process in hydrogen IC engines involves injecting hydrogen into the combustion chamber, mixing it with air, and igniting it. This efficient process optimizes energy generation to drive the engine. - With a fast burn rate of hydrogen and the ability to optimize combustion, hydrogen IC engines offer impressive efficiency and the potential to significantly reduce harmful emissions. 👉 Hydrogen IC engines hold immense promise for curbing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, making them a key technology in the drive toward sustainability. 👉 However, there are challenges to address, including the need for effective hydrogen storage and distribution systems, given hydrogen's low energy density. Sustainable hydrogen production methods are also essential to maximize the environmental benefits. 👉 These engines have found applications in various sectors, from internal combustion cars to buses and industrial equipment, showcasing their versatility. 👉 While hydrogen IC engines are a vital part of the hydrogen transition, many applications are moving towards hydrogen fuel cells due to their even higher efficiency and zero-emission characteristics. 🚀 The lecture opened my eyes to the exciting potential of hydrogen engines. As we strive for a greener future, innovations like these are paving the way for cleaner, more efficient, and eco-friendly transportation solutions. 👏 Kudos to Er. G Senthil Kumar and the organizers for an incredibly enlightening session! 🙌 #HydrogenFuel #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation #H2ICE #HydrogenEngines #LectureHighlights

The Energy Consortium - IIT Madras , Indian Institute of Technology, Madras hosted a dynamic Research Symposium on May 21st, uniting faculty, scholars, students, and researchers to explore the latest advancements in clean energy technologies.  Diverse studies are currently underway such as for exploring the link between CSR and energy efficiency in the Indian manufacturing sector, unraveling insights on industry emissions and productivity and taking a critical look at Scope 3 emissions for identifying means for unlocking decarbonization potential. #energyconsortium #iitmadras #researchsymposium #energyefficiency #environmentalimpact #decarbonization #csr #scope3emissions #indianindustry #sustainability #carbonfootprint Rajnish Kumar | Satyanarayanan Seshadri | Arun Karuppaswamy B | Santosh Kumar Sahu | Rahul Muralidharan | Muruganandam T M | Raghuram Chetty | Nitin Muralidharan | Nikhil Tambe I Dr. Krishna Malakar, Ph.D. I Palani Selvam I Richa Gupta I Harun Khan

An MoU between Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) and Guidance Tamil Nadu, for establishing a ‘Hydrogen Valley Innovation Hub’, was signed during the Tamil Nadu Global Investors Meet 2024 held in Chennai on Sunday (January 7, 2024). This initiative aims to promote a green hydrogen ecosystem in the country. IIT Madras is the Nodal agency for establishing the hub and has special focus on localization of manufacturing, skill development, creation of validation platforms, roadmap and landscape analysis for the hydrogen ecosystem.  The Hydrogen Valley Innovation Hub project, with a total project cost of Rs.180 crore, will be established with the investment of Rs. 100 crore. by HMIL towards its capex requirements. Guidance Tamil Nadu, the investment promotion agency of the Government of Tamil Nadu, will also be a key player, supporting via policy advocacy on hydrogen-related technologies and Standards/regulations development. The Institute will also establish a Centre of Excellence that will play the role of a Think tank and conduct annual conferences, and workshops besides publishing research papers. This project will not only give India’s green hydrogen goals a push but will also inculcate knowledge sharing, creation of R&D infrastructure and enable skill development in young people. The proposed Hydrogen Valley Innovation Cluster in Tamil Nadu (HVIC-TN) is an entity comprising of stakeholders from more than 20 companies working in the hydrogen sector besides investors, consulates, IIT Madras, IIT Madras Research Park, Guidance Tamil Nadu, and Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation. The HVIC-TN is planned to cater to the needs of green hydrogen ambitions of the country by providing technological solutions, support on R&D, skill development, infrastructure building, technoeconomic feasibility and policy/regulatory recommendations. It will act as a platform for stakeholders in the hydrogen sector to network and enable the green hydrogen adoption and transition faster. #hyundai #iitmadras #hydrogen #tamilnadu #guidancebureau #iitmadrasresearchpark #researchanddevelopment #skilldevelopment #infrastructure
