It is great to see that Indian government is gradually realizing the importance of green fuel. India is going to launch its first hydrogen-dispensing Gas Station before the end of this year in Delhi. I am quoting from a report of the Financial Express:
“Five years after New Delhi set the trend by introducing CNG in public transport, it will become the first city to install a hydrogen-dispensing station.
By year-end, at least five vehicles already sitting in an Indian Oil Corporation R&D centre will start plying on CNG blended with 10% hydrogen (HCNG) on Delhi’s roads. This blend will facilitate the entry of a fuel source that has become the veritable Holy Grail in the quest of a green, zero-emission fuel.”
Air pollution has become a major problem for large Indian cities like Delhi. That is why, this initiative will be a welcome change for many people in this city. However, it is important that the government can find a way to keep the cost affordable to the users. If the cost of this technology is same like the traditional CNG then no body would mind. Indian government should invest more on this technology and allocate enough funds to the scientists for carrying out researches on it.
