India Takes High Altitude Leap with Green Hydrogen Buses in Leh
Key Ideas
  • Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar launches NTPC's Green Hydrogen buses in Leh, boosting India's clean energy efforts.
  • Project includes a 1.7 MW solar plant, 80 kg/day green hydrogen filling station, and five buses capable of traveling 300 km on a single fill.
  • At 3650 meters above sea level, it's the world's highest-altitude green hydrogen mobility project aiming to cut 350 metric tons of carbon emissions annually and provide 230 metric tons of oxygen.
  • NTPC's initiative aligns with energy security and decarbonization goals in India.
Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal Khattar, launched NTPC’s Green Hydrogen buses in Leh, India, under the Green Hydrogen Mobility Project. The project includes a 1.7 MW solar plant, an 80 kg/day green hydrogen filling station, and five hydrogen buses that can travel 300 km on a single fill. Notably situated at 3650 meters above sea level, this initiative is the world’s highest-altitude green hydrogen mobility project. It aims to reduce carbon emissions by 350 metric tons annually and provide 230 metric tons of oxygen, which is equivalent to planting about 13,000 trees. This project aligns with NTPC's broader commitment to energy security and decarbonization in India, marking a significant step in the country's efforts towards clean energy.
