State-run power giant NTPC has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GRIDCO and CRUT to initiate the development of green hydrogen infrastructure in Odisha, India. The collaboration aims to promote green energy technologies in the region, particularly focusing on green hydrogen mobility solutions. NTPC plans to establish a green hydrogen fuelling station in Bhubaneswar and introduce hydrogen buses for both short-haul and long-haul transportation. This initiative is expected to facilitate the phasing out of fossil fuel buses, promoting cleaner and more sustainable transportation options while enhancing decarbonisation efforts and energy security. The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy has provided partial funding for the project in Bhubaneswar, emphasizing the government's support for transitioning towards green fuels. NTPC's experience in operating green hydrogen projects in various locations such as Surat, Leh, Greater Noida, and Kandla, coupled with the ongoing development of a green hydrogen hub in Visakhapatnam, reflects the company's commitment to expanding renewable energy capacity. With a target of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, NTPC's focus on green hydrogen infrastructure signifies a positive step towards sustainable energy practices and environmental conservation.
