Odisha has taken a significant step towards promoting eco-friendly public transport by launching a green hydrogen mobility project. The state signed a tripartite agreement involving CRUT, GRIDCO, and NTPC to oversee maintenance, energy supply, and hydrogen production, respectively. This initiative aligns with the National Green Hydrogen Mission to combat climate change through sustainable transport solutions. An investment from the Automotive Research Association of India indicates support for this pilot project, aimed at reducing diesel bus usage and expanding green hydrogen buses across the state. NTPC's plan to establish a hydrogen production facility in Bhubaneswar, utilizing existing infrastructure, further emphasizes Odisha's commitment to advancing green technology and reducing carbon emissions. The state's request for land allocation to support this infrastructure development showcases its dedication to embracing renewable energy sources and enhancing public transport efficiency.
