NEW DELHI: Delhi will become the first city in the country to seriously try out hydrogen — touted as the fuel of the future — as a serious public mobility solution, with Indian Oil procuring 15 buses kitted with polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells for plying in the city.
\n“IndianOil has been pioneering hydrogen efforts in the country and this exercise is a part of a bigger project which aims at addressing all aspects of the hydrogen value chain,” a company statement quoted chairman S M Vaidya as saying. The venture is being supported partially by the oil ministry’s hydrogen corpus fund.
\nThis project is the first-ever attempt in the country to address all the aspects of hydrogen-based mobility as the ultimate green option, the statement said.
\nAccording to IOC director (R&D) S S V Ramakumar, the fuel cell stack\/system technology would be indigenously developed and manufactured, thus accelerating the creation of a local ecosystem to support further activities in the hydrogen energy domain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
