Hello Questers,

It's a time for another TechTidings. So without further ado let's get started.

Hardeep Singh Puri (Union Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas) has launched the India's first green hydrogen fuel cell bus.

At the launch of first green hydrogen fuel cell bus; Hardeep Singh Puri speaks believes that India will account for 25% of global energy demand in two decades.

“The success of this project can catapult India from being a net importer of fossil energy to becoming a net exporter of clean hydrogen energy; provide global leadership to other countries in terms of technology transfer, while becoming a large green hydrogen producer and supplier of manufacturing parts,” - H.S Puri (Union Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas)

According to the Press Information Bureau (PIB). The initiative is part of Indian Oil's efforts to conduct operational trials of 15 fuel cell buses powered by green hydrogen on designated routes in Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. As a kickstart to this initiative, the first two buses has commenced their journey from India Gate .

This project marks a significant milestone as it is the first-ever initiative in India to provide green hydrogen at 350 bar pressure for fuel cell bus operation. Indian Oil has also established a refuelling facility at its R&D campus in Faridabad, capable of refuelling green hydrogen produced through electrolysis using solar PV panels.

Fuel cell technology is gaining prominence in the realm of e-mobility, where hydrogen serves as a fuel for fuel cells. The electro-chemical process in fuel cells efficiently converts hydrogen and oxygen into water, generating electrical energy.

It boast advantages like longer ranges and shorter refuelling times compared to battery-powered vehicles. Hydrogen gas is stored onboard at high pressure, typically at 350 bar.

As these two buses are launched, they will collectively cover over 300,000 kilometres during long-term performance and durability assessments, PIB statement said. The data generated through these trials will serve as a valuable national resource, shaping the future of zero-emission mobility in India driven by green hydrogen.
