India’s first hydrogen fuel cell bus!
Recommended for Secondary Grades
India gets its first hydrogen fuel cell bus. It could be the most environmentally beneficial means of public transportation.
According to the government authorities, there are more than one million diesel buses operating on long-distance routes in India. A single bus generates nearly 100 tonnes of CO2 in a single year.
According to researchers, nearly 10% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions come from diesel-powered heavy commercial vehicles. As these emissions are decentralised and thus difficult to capture.
Key facts about hydrogen fuel cell bus!
- Putting hydrogen and oxygen together at an elementary level is how hydrogen fuel cells make energy.
- The reaction between the two gases happens in a battery cell.
- In order to generate electricity, the hydrogen fuel cell utilises hydrogen and air as its inputs.
- The only byproducts of this process are heat and water.
- The high efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles ensures lower operational costs.
- In addition, fuel cell vehicles also give zero emissions of greenhouse gases.
- Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles are better than battery-powered electric vehicles.
- This makes hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles a better choice for public transportation.
- As a consequence of bringing about this change, government authorities feel that India could turn into an exporter of clean hydrogen energy.
- This could provide India with global leadership in the hydrogen space.
