Driving Towards a Greener Future: The Rise of Green Hydrogen in India's Transportation Sector
Key Ideas
  • Mustafa Wajid, Co-Founder of BILLIONe, praises the Indian government's Green Hydrogen mission as a positive step towards enhancing sustainability in the transportation sector.
  • The focus initially on industrial processes like steel and fertiliser industries is expected to pave the way for broader adoption of green hydrogen in transportation, especially in larger vehicles for long-haul operations.
  • The accessibility and cost-effectiveness of green hydrogen will be crucial factors in determining its acceptance in the logistics industry, which is known for its cost sensitivity.
  • With the growth in electric vehicles anticipated in the next few years, integrating green electricity with EVs can contribute significantly to a sustainable transportation ecosystem.
In a recent interview at the 'NDTV World Summit' in New Delhi, Mustafa Wajid, the Co-Founder of BILLIONe and an advocate for sustainable e-mobility, expressed his optimism about the Indian government's Green Hydrogen mission. Wajid highlighted the importance of the initial focus on utilizing green hydrogen in industrial processes such as steel and fertiliser production, citing its potential to enhance adaptability and usage. He emphasized that the next phase of this initiative would likely center around the transportation sector, particularly in large vehicles for extended operations. Wajid underscored the economic viability as a key determinant for the success of green hydrogen in transportation, especially in industries like logistics where cost-efficiency is paramount. He also discussed the significant growth expected in the electric vehicle sector in the coming years, pointing out the potential for integrating green electricity to create a fully sustainable transportation ecosystem. BILLIONe, the e-mobility platform Wajid co-founded, aims to reduce the reliance on petroleum products in transportation. By deploying electric trucks and addressing the substantial consumption of petrol and diesel in India's transportation sector, BILLIONe is actively contributing to the shift towards greener alternatives. The surge in transportation demands in India, driven by factors like urbanization, consumerism, and the booming e-commerce industry, underscores the urgency for sustainable solutions. The convergence of initiatives like the Green Hydrogen mission and the growth of electric vehicles signifies a promising trajectory towards a more environmentally conscious and efficient transportation landscape.
