Odisha's Green Hydrogen Mobility Project: Tripartite Agreement for Sustainable Transport
Key Ideas
  • CRUT, NTPC, and GRIDCO signed a tripartite agreement in Odisha for a green hydrogen mobility project to combat climate change.
  • CRUT will maintain hydrogen-powered buses, NTPC will handle hydrogen production, and GRIDCO will ensure a renewable energy supply.
  • The project aims to reduce carbon emissions by introducing green hydrogen buses as an alternative to diesel buses.
  • NTPC will deploy three hydrogen-powered buses with 42 seats, each capable of traveling up to 600 km on 58 kg of fuel.
In a significant move towards sustainable transport to combat climate change, a tripartite agreement was signed in Odisha for a green hydrogen mobility project. The agreement involves Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT), NTPC, and GRIDCO. CRUT will focus on maintaining hydrogen-powered buses, NTPC will be responsible for hydrogen production, and GRIDCO will ensure a steady supply of renewable energy. This initiative is part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, aiming to introduce green hydrogen in the transport sector. The project, set to span over five years, intends to reduce carbon emissions by replacing diesel buses with green hydrogen buses. NTPC plans to deploy three hydrogen-powered buses with 42 seats each, offering a range of up to 600 km on 58 kg of fuel. The project also includes setting up a hydrogen production plant at the CRUT depot in Bhubaneswar. By utilizing renewable energy sources, this project aligns with the state's goal of enhancing public transport sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
