NTPC's Green Hydrogen Mobility Project Inaugurated at High Altitude in Leh
Key Ideas
  • Union Power Minister inaugurates NTPC's Green Hydrogen Mobility Project in Leh, India, featuring a hydrogen-fuelling station and five fuel cell buses.
  • India's first deployment of hydrogen buses on public roads aims to support NTPC's 60 GW renewable energy capacity goal by 2032.
  • The project, situated at 11,562 feet, can store hydrogen at high pressure, with plans for expansion to other regions like Andhra Pradesh for green hydrogen efforts.
  • This sustainable initiative is designed to reduce carbon emissions by 350 MT annually and emphasizes India's commitment to renewable energy and green mobility solutions.
In a significant move towards sustainable energy, Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar inaugurated NTPC's Green Hydrogen Mobility Project in Leh, India. The project, located at a high altitude of 11,562 feet, features a pioneering hydrogen-fuelling station, a 1.7 MW solar plant, and five fuel cell buses. This marks India's first introduction of hydrogen buses on public roads, aligning with NTPC's objective of achieving a 60 GW renewable energy capacity by 2032. During the inauguration event, the minister flagged off the green hydrogen buses, which completed a 12 km journey from the hydrogen filling station to Leh airport. The project is engineered to withstand extreme climatic conditions and can store hydrogen at a pressure of 350 bar, contributing to the mitigation of 350 MT of carbon emissions annually. NTPC aims to replicate similar projects, including establishing a hydrogen hub in Andhra Pradesh, as part of its commitment to renewable and green hydrogen initiatives. This initiative showcases India's commitment to green mobility solutions and underscores the country's transition towards sustainable energy practices.
