Pune: Sentient Labs, MACS-Agharkar Research Institute in Pune jointly develop tech that generates hydrogen from farm residue to power vehicles
R&D innovation laboratory Sentient Labs and MACS-Agharkar Research Institute in Pune have jointly developed a technology that generates hydrogen directly from agricultural residue for use in fuel cell-powered vehicles.
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology is estimated to be the next big step in sustainable mobility as it provides a large operating range, is suitable for commercial vehicles and leaves minimal environmental footprint.
“The hydrogen generated using the new method can be utilised to power fuel cell vehicles that emit only water, thus making the entire cycle pollution-free. The need of the hour in crude oil-importing nations is to rapidly move towards self-reliant energy sources and sustainable mobility,” said Ravi Pandit, Chairman of Sentient Labs, incubated by KPIT Technologies.
