Imagine travelling across without leaving any carbon footprint. Sounds impossible, right? Well, not anymore. Thanks to green hydrogen! Delhiites, are you ready to hop on India’s First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus? And take a green leap towards zero-emission?
On September 25, India celebrated a historic moment as Hardeep Singh Puri unveiled the country’s first hydrogen fuel cell bus in Delhi. This is a green breakthrough for pollution-free transport, as hydrogen fuel cell technology emits only water and electricity, unlike fossil fuels that belch out harmful gases.
It is a game changer for tackling environmental challenges and ensuring a sustainable future. Read on to know more!
The Road To Sustainability & Fuel Cell Technology
Green Hydrogen, produced using renewable energy sources, has immense potential to transform India’s economy and environment. It can utilize the abundant domestic renewable energy resources and cater to various needs, from fuel applications to critical industrial processes such as petroleum refining, steel production, and fertilizer Manufacturing.
But how can you travel on green hydrogen? The answer is fuel cell technology, which uses hydrogen to generate electricity and water. Fuel cell technology is an emerging alternative to battery-driven vehicles.
Fuel cell technology, which uses hydrogen as fuel, is an emerging alternative to battery-driven vehicles. It offers advantages such as high efficiency, extended range, and faster refuelling time. Hydrogen and oxygen react electrochemically in this process, generating water and electricity.
A Rigorous Test to Assess the Feasibility and Performance
The buses will undergo a rigorous road test of over 3 lakh kilometres after launch. This will help assess the durability and feasibility of this cutting-edge technology. The findings from this extensive trial will inform and shape India’s vision for a green hydrogen-based zero-emission mobility future.
How excited are you to experience the Green Hydrogen firsthand? And how else could it change how we travel in the near future? Do let us know in the comments.
