The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM)

PM-KUSUM

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme was launched in March 2019.
To promote solar energy use in agriculture, reduce diesel dependence, and increase farmers' income.
Extended to March 2026.
Aims to add Solar capacity of 34,800 MW by March 2026.
Total Central Financial support of ₹ 34,422 crore.
Component-A: Setting up of 10,000 MW of Decentralized Ground/ Stilt Mounted Grid-Connected Solar or other Renewable Energy based Power Plants.
Component-B: Installation of 14 Lakh Stand-alone Solar Agriculture Pumps.
Component-C: Solarization of 35 Lakh Grid Connected Agriculture Pumps [C1 (IPS) - Solarization of Grid connected individual pumps (90% subsidy in UP)] [C - FLS - Feeder level solarization - solarization of agricultural feeders rather than individual pumps].
Appx. capacity addition - 10 + 7 + 18 (component A + B + C) - 35 GW Renewable.

Production of Green Hydrogen [Water Electrolysis by Green (Renewable) Energy]

Pure water has an extremely low concentration of ions [H+ and OH -] due to self-ionization, resulting in very low electrical conductivity.
Thus almost no current flows.
An electrolyte, like dilute sulfuric acid [H2{SO}4], or sodium hydroxide, {NaOH}must be added to enable conduction.
Reaction is
2H2O(l) -- 2H2(g) + O2(g)
H2O -- H+ + OH-
H+ moves towards cathode, gain electron (coming from external circuit), H2 (g) releases. OH- moves towards anode, loose electrons (to the external circuit), forms H2O(l) & O2(g).
Electrode Reactions [Platinum/Graphite Electrodes are used]
Cathode (Negative Terminal - Reduction): Gains of electrons - 2H+ + 2e- -- H2(g)
Anode (Positive Terminal - Oxidation): Loss of electrons - 4OH- - e- -- 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
The volume of hydrogen gas produced is twice the volume of oxygen gas.
Products are Hydrogen gas H2 at the cathode, Oxygen gas O2 at the anode Thermodynamically, a minimum of 1.23 volts is required for water electrolysis.
However in practice, an over potential is needed to overcome resistances, actually requires 2.0 to 2.5 Volts.
It is a non-spontaneous reaction requiring high energy input.
