Poster Presentation in the Advanced Workshop on Green Hydrogen Technologies
13th - 14th March 2026
Mechanical Engineering students Mr. Rishi and Mr. Krishna Aggarwal from Dronacharya Group of Institutions, Greater Noidaparticipated in the Advanced Workshop on Green Hydrogen Technologiesunder the aegis of SAE India Collegiate club supervised by Faculty Co-Ordinators, Prof. (Dr.) Shailesh Kumar Singh and Dr. Saket Kumar: Research Highlights & Innovations organized by the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal on 13 - 14 March 2026. Owing to the workshop’s relevance and focus on emerging energy solutions, it attracted more than 500 applicants, out of which the team was selected after a rigorous screening process to participate and present their research through poster presentations.
The workshop was centered on cutting-edge developments in hydrogen technologies and aligned with India’s ambitious National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to promote sustainable and clean energy solutions. The primary objective of the workshop was to bring together researchers, students, industry professionals, and policymakers to deliberate on recent advancements, technological challenges, and future opportunities in the domain of green hydrogen. It provided a dynamic and collaborative platform for knowledge exchange, innovation, and interdisciplinary interaction.
The two-day workshop featured a comprehensive mix of academic, practical, and industry-oriented sessions. Distinguished experts from academia, industry, and policymaking bodies delivered insightful invited talks on emerging trends and real-world applications of green hydrogen technologies. Notable speakers included Ranjith Krishna Pai, Scientist ‘F’ and Senior Director at the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, who discussed the relevance of new technologies. Other eminent contributors included Arindam Sarkar from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, along with faculty members from premier institutes such as IITs and CSIR laboratories, and industry experts from organizations like Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Adani New Industries Ltd.
In addition to the expert lectures, participants were provided with hands-on laboratory demonstrations, where they gained practical exposure to hydrogen production techniques, particularly advanced electrolysis methods. These sessions enhanced the participants’ understanding of the practical implementation of green hydrogen technologies.
As part of the poster presentation segment, Mr. Rishi (third year) and Mr. Krishna Aggarwal (second year) showcased their research work under the mentorship of Dr. Saket Kumar. Rishi presented the research work of third-year students through a poster titled “Parametric Study on the Role of Hydrogen Blending and Oxygen Enrichment in Ammonia Engine Combustion,” highlighting innovative approaches to improving combustion efficiency. Krishna Aggarwal represented the research findings of second-year students by presenting a poster titled “Thermodynamic Equilibrium Analysis of Steam and Dry Reforming of Methane-Ethane-Glycerol Mixtures for Hydrogen Production,” focusing on sustainable hydrogen generation techniques. Both presentations reflected strong research orientation, analytical thinking, and innovative problem-solving approaches.
The workshop also included interactive sessions that encouraged active discussions, enabling participants to network and collaborate with peers, researchers, and industry professionals from diverse backgrounds. These interactions provided valuable insights and broadened the participants’ perspectives on current research trends and technological advancements.
Overall, participation in this prestigious workshop significantly showcased the research environment of Dronacharya Group of Institutions and contributed to strengthening its innovation ecosystem. The experience fostered an innovation-driven mindset among students and provided strategic direction for enhancing future research initiatives. Furthermore, the workshop highlighted advanced technologies and reinforced the institution’s presence and participation in the national research and innovation landscape.
