Indian Army's Green Mileage: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Collaboration with IOCL
Key Ideas
  • Indian Army collaborates with IOCL for hydrogen fuel cell bus technology trials, emphasizing innovation and sustainability.
  • First hydrogen fuel cell bus received promises a mileage of 250-300 km on a full 30 kg tank of hydrogen fuel, with zero emissions.
  • Indian Army also pioneers MoU with NTPC for green hydrogen microgrid power plants, enhancing clean energy solutions for border areas.
  • Hydrogen fuel cell technology offers efficient, zero-emission electricity generation with a seating capacity of 37 passengers.
The Indian Army and Indian Oil Corp. Ltd (IOCL) have joined hands for demonstration trials of hydrogen fuel cell bus technology, marking a significant step towards sustainable transport solutions. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed to showcase the commitment to innovation and eco-friendly advancements. The hydrogen fuel cell bus, with a seating capacity of 37 passengers, offers an impressive mileage of 250-300 km on a full 30 kg tank of hydrogen fuel, while emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. This initiative aligns with the Indian Army's focus on green energy solutions, as seen in their partnership with NTPC for green hydrogen microgrid power plants along the Northern borders. The collaboration with NTPC aims to provide clean electricity to troops in challenging terrains. Overall, the Indian Army's adoption of hydrogen technology indicates a positive shift towards sustainable and efficient energy sources.
