Indian Army and Indian Oil Corporation: Driving Towards a Sustainable Future
Key Ideas
  • Indian Army and Indian Oil Corporation Limited signed an MoU to incorporate green and sustainable transport solutions, including a hydrogen fuel cell bus.
  • Hydrogen fuel cell technology offers clean and efficient alternative with zero emissions, converting hydrogen gas into electricity through an electro-chemical process.
  • A pilot project at Chushul will provide 24x7 clean electricity using a green hydrogen-based microgrid power plant, benefiting troops in inhospitable terrains.
The Indian Army has partnered with the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) to introduce green and sustainable transport solutions. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the two entities in New Delhi, emphasizing innovation and sustainable transport. The collaboration includes the introduction of a hydrogen fuel cell bus, showcasing the commitment to clean energy. The hydrogen fuel cell technology converts hydrogen gas into electricity through an electro-chemical process, leaving water vapor as the only by-product for zero emissions. The bus, with a seating capacity of 37 passengers, boasts an impressive mileage on a full tank of hydrogen fuel. Additionally, the Army has initiated a pilot project at Chushul for a green hydrogen-based microgrid power plant, ensuring 24x7 clean electricity for troops in challenging terrains. This initiative highlights the Army's dedication to driving towards a sustainable future through innovative and clean energy solutions.
