Indian Army's Green Partnership: Hydrogen Bus Collaboration with IOCL
Key Ideas
- Indian Army collaborates with IOCL for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus technology trials.
- Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology offers clean energy with zero emissions and efficient conversion process.
- Pilot project with NTPC REL involves Green Hydrogen-based Microgrid for clean electricity in remote areas.
The Indian Army and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) have joined forces for a significant initiative involving the demonstration trials of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus technology. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in the presence of high-ranking officials from both organizations, highlighting the commencement of their partnership. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology showcased in the bus is praised for its clean and efficient operation, converting Hydrogen gas into electricity while emitting only water vapor. This move signifies a step towards sustainable transportation solutions. Additionally, the Indian Army's prior MoU with NTPC REL for Green Hydrogen-based Microgrid Power Plants exemplifies their commitment to clean energy initiatives. The pilot project at Chushul aims to provide uninterrupted, clean electricity to soldiers stationed in challenging terrains, emphasizing the importance of sustainable energy practices in remote areas.
