Union Minister Manohar Lal flagged off a fleet of green hydrogen buses by NTPC in Leh. The project includes a 1.7 MW solar plant, an 80 kg/day green hydrogen filling station, and 5 hydrogen intra-city buses, each capable of covering 300 km per fill. These efforts aim to enhance energy security and reduce carbon emissions. The project in Leh, situated at 3650m above sea level, is the world's highest altitude green hydrogen mobility project, designed to operate in low-density air and sub-zero temperatures. The station is expected to mitigate around 350 MT/year of carbon emissions and contribute 230 MT/year of oxygen into the atmosphere. This initiative leverages Ladakh's high solar irradiance and low temperatures, making it ideal for green hydrogen production. NTPC plans to expand such projects across India, focusing on renewable energy capacity scaling and establishing a hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh to further promote sustainable mobility.
