Shri Manohar Lal, Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, inaugurated NTPC's green hydrogen buses in Leh, marking a significant step towards energy sustainability and decarbonisation. The project includes a 1.7 MW solar plant, a green hydrogen filling station with a capacity of 80 kg/day, and 5 hydrogen-powered intra-city buses. These buses can cover 300 km per fill of 25 kg of hydrogen, operating at an altitude of 3650m MSL, showcasing their adaptability to low-density air and sub-zero temperatures. The initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 350 MT/year and increase oxygen levels by 230 MT/year, equivalent to planting 13,000 trees annually. With Ladakh's ideal conditions of high solar irradiance and low temperature, the project highlights the potential for green hydrogen mobility solutions to enhance energy self-sufficiency and eliminate fossil fuel logistics. NTPC's commitment extends beyond Leh, with plans to implement more hydrogen mobility projects nationwide and enhance renewable energy capacity, including establishing a hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh.
