All about India's first Green Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus

Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri flagged off India's first hydrogen-powered bus that emits just water

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) will produce 75 kg of hydrogen by splitting water using electricity from renewable sources. This will be used to power two buses

Four cylinders with a capacity of 30 kg can run the buses for 350 km. It takes 10-12 minutes for the four tanks to fill

Puri said by the end of 2023, IOC will scale up the number of buses to 15. IOC will undertake operational trials of 15 fuel cell buses powered by green hydrogen in Delhi, Haryana, and UP

Upon the launch of the two buses, a cumulative mileage of more than 3 lakh km will be covered for long-term assessment of performance and durability of the new technology
