The Odisha government is set to introduce hydrogen-powered buses in Bhubaneswar as a part of its commitment to green technology and sustainable urban transport. The initiative follows the successful implementation of emission-free electric vehicles in the state's urban transport system. A tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed among NTPC Limited, GRIDCO Limited, and Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) to implement Green Energy Technologies, focusing on hydrogen production and renewable energy supply. The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy's National Green Hydrogen Mission drives the use of Green Hydrogen in the Transport Sector. The pilot project aims to replace fossil-fueled public transport with zero-emission, eco-friendly hydrogen-powered buses, supported by an investment of Rs.19.5 crores by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). The initiative aligns with Odisha's Renewable Energy Policy 2022 and NTPC's strategic shift towards renewable energy, green hydrogen, and energy storage technologies, marking a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing the quality of bus services in the state.
