The National Thermal Power Corporation recently had invited expression of interest for procuring ten Hydrogen Fuel Cell based buses and 10 similar electric cars.
These environment-friendly vehicles would be used in Delhi and Leh.
It is first of its kind project in the country.
It is to decarbonize transport system in the country.
The Hydrogen Fuel Cell use chemical process to convert hydrogen rich fuel into electricity.
The main advantage of fuel cells is that they need not be charged frequently.
They produce electricity as long as the fuel is available.
The major benefits of hydrogen fuel cells include high efficiency, low to zero emissions, fuel flexibility, quiet operation, durability and energy security.
Hydrogen fuel is a zero-emission fuel burned with oxygen.
It can be used in fuel cells or internal combustion engines.
It is also used as a fuel for spacecraft propulsion.
