India to leverage CNG pipeline to transport hydrogen: Dharmendra Pradhan
NEW DELHI: : India is working to leverage its compressed natural gas (CNG) pipeline grid and infrastructure to reduce the transportation cost for the new-age emission-free fuel—hydrogen.
Also, there are plans to run buses across cities fuelled by hydrogen blended with CNG, minister for petroleum and natural gas and steel Dharmendra Pradhan said on Thursday.
This comes against the backdrop of the proposed National Hydrogen Energy Mission, which may mandate fertilizer, steel and petrochemicals industries to shift to green hydrogen. The proposal is expected to be taken up by the Union cabinet for approval shortly.
