Green hydrogen is gaining unprecedented momentum globally. Green hydrogen can be generated from renewable energy and abundantly available biomass. Introduction and adoption of technology to tap into the green hydrogen’s potential will play a key role in securing a clean and affordable energy future for India.

Recently, Union Ministry for Road Transport and Highways, Shri NITIN GADKARI had inaugurated a first of its kind pilot project for Hydrogen-based advanced Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV). It will be a huge shift from fossil fuel and help towards the conservation of our environment.

The minister said that Green Hydrogen can be generated from renewable energy and abundantly available biomass. Introduction and adoption of technology to tap into the Green hydrogen’s potential will play a key role in securing a clean and affordable energy future for India. He further said that FCEV powered by Hydrogen is one of the best zero-emission solutions. It is completely environment friendly with no tailpipe emissions other than water.

This Pilot project is initiated by Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd. along with International Center for Automotive Technology (ICAT) to study and evaluate the world’s most advanced FCEV Toyota Mirai. The Toyota Mirai was launched in 2014, was one of the world’s first hydrogen fuel electric vehicles.

Toyota Mirai runs on hydrogen fuel on Indian roads and designed for Indian climatic conditions. Toyota Kirloskar Motor claims that the Toyota Mirai is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell battery pack. It is capable of providing a range up to 650 km in a single charge. The best part is that the refueling time of five minutes only. ‘Mirai’ is a Japanese word means ‘future’.

This aims at spreading awareness about Hydrogen, FCEV technology, and disseminating its benefits to support hydrogen-based society for India. Green hydrogen offers huge opportunities to decarbonise a range of sectors, including road transportation. Union Power Minister said he has given a target to NTPC to start buses which will run on hydrogen from Delhi to Jaipur.

In India, Hydrogen Gentech Private Limited (HGPL) is a company with a clear focus on Green Hydrogen, Hydrogen Generation, Hydrogen Purification & Recovery Technologies and its applications in Industry, Renewable Energy, Fuel and Mobility sectors. HGPL is an international technology-based Hydrogen Generation plants manufacturer and supplier based in India.
