Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) has entered into a quadripartite memorandum of understanding with BluJ Aerospace, Agency for New and Renewable Energy Research and Technology (ANERT), and Cochin International Airport (CIAL) to pioneer the development of the world's first hydrogen-powered vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft ecosystem. The signing of the agreement in Kochi on 12 March, 2025, signifies a significant advancement in sustainable aviation and supports India's ambitious target of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2070. The collaborative initiative aims to transform urban and regional air mobility by integrating green hydrogen-powered VTOL aircraft, offering enhanced efficiency, reduced noise levels, and lower carbon emissions. BPCL's role in this partnership involves establishing hydrogen refueling stations in Kochi and Trivandrum to facilitate the transition to hydrogen-powered aviation. Furthermore, BPCL will invest in research and development efforts to create an indigenous proton exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cell with high power density, crucial for enabling vertical lift-off capabilities necessary for VTOL aircraft. This strategic collaboration underscores a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the adoption of clean energy solutions in the aviation sector.
