India’s top oil firm IOC on Monday unveiled the nation’s first green hydrogen-powered bus that emits just water as it takes the lead in bringing out unrivalled tools to replace fossil fuels.
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) will produce close to 75 kg of hydrogen by splitting water using electricity from renewable sources. This hydrogen will be used to power two buses which will ply across the national capital region for trial runs.
Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, flagging off the buses, said hydrogen will be India’s transition fuel for moving away from fossil fuels.
