NTPC, a state-owned power giant in India, has introduced a significant initiative by delivering five hydrogen fuel cell buses to Leh for commercial operations. This marks India's first commercial deployment of hydrogen fuel buses and sets a global benchmark for green mobility, especially at high altitudes. The project, in collaboration with SIDCO, aims to reduce carbon emissions by 350 metric tons per year and provide 230 metric tons of pure oxygen annually to the atmosphere, equivalent to planting 13,000 trees. The hydrogen fueling station in Leh, established last year at 11,562 feet above sea level, is also linked with a 1.7 MW solar plant to ensure sustainable and renewable power for the operation. NTPC's ambitious target of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 aligns with this green initiative. By incorporating hydrogen fuel buses in Leh, NTPC demonstrates its commitment to promoting eco-friendly transportation and reducing the carbon footprint in the region and beyond.
