The Copper-Chlorine (Cu–Cl) thermochemical cycle allows heat to be directly used to drive chemical reactions bypassing the need to first convert heat into electricity

This in combined with India's eventual idea of working on its thorium reservers for nuclear energy which India holds a 20% reserve of, could be a genuine game-changer.

I think that the hydrogen produced within this is actually transportable and storage capable for long periods of time and so I imagine the use of hydrogen plant might now be somewhat directly proportional to the nuclear energy that India produces depending on India's needs.
