NTPC Collaborates for Green Hydrogen Mobility in Odisha
Key Ideas
  • NTPC signed an MoU with GRIDCO and CRUT in Bhubaneswar to promote green energy technologies, with a focus on green hydrogen mobility.
  • The collaboration aims to establish a green hydrogen fuelling station in Bhubaneswar and introduce hydrogen buses to replace fossil fuel buses, contributing to decarbonisation.
  • NTPC has a track record of successful green hydrogen projects in various regions of India and is actively working towards achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.
  • The presence of government officials during the MoU exchange highlights the commitment to sustainable development and energy security through the adoption of clean and green fuels.
In a significant development for green energy adoption in Odisha, NTPC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GRIDCO and CRUT to advance green energy technologies, specifically focusing on green hydrogen mobility. The MoU exchange took place at Lok Sewa Bhawan in Bhubaneswar, with key officials from NTPC, GRIDCO, and CRUT in attendance alongside government representatives. One of the key outcomes of this collaboration is the establishment of a green hydrogen fuelling station in Bhubaneswar, accompanied by the introduction of hydrogen buses for short-haul and long-haul operations. This initiative is poised to phase out fossil fuel buses, promoting the use of clean and green fuels to enhance decarbonisation efforts and ensure energy security. Notably, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has provided partial funding for this project, emphasizing the government's support for sustainable energy solutions. NTPC's successful track record in green hydrogen projects, including the blending project in Surat and mobility initiatives in regions like Ladakh and Greater Noida, underscores its expertise in promoting renewable energy. Furthermore, NTPC's ambitious goal of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 aligns with the broader energy transition objectives in India. The collaboration between NTPC, GRIDCO, and CRUT not only signifies a step towards sustainable urban development but also exemplifies the commitment of government officials to drive environmental sustainability through innovative partnerships.
