NEW DELHI: From Tuesday, buses running on hydrogen-enriched compressed natural gas(HCNG) are going to hit the capital’s roads.
A cleaner fuel compared with CNG, HCNG will be used to run 50 buses as part of a pilot project for six months from the Rajghat-1 bus depot.
A four-tonne per day compact reformer-based HCNG production plant has come up at the Rajghat-1 bus depot of Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and while it was expected to start operations from March, the Covid-19 outbreak put a spanner in the works. The facility is now going to be inaugurated on Tuesday by Union minister for petroleum and natural gas Dharmendra Pradhan and state transport minister Kailash Gahlot.
