Government of India lays out road map for adoption of fuel cell technology

Mayank Aggarwal, Jun 14 2016

New Delhi: The central government on Monday released a draft report that lays down a road map for the use of hydrogen energy and fuel cell technology in the transport sector as it tries to broaden the green economy in India.

The draft report Hydrogen energy and Fuel Cells in India—A way forward has been put online by the ministry of new and renewable energy and is open for comments till 20 June.



The report calls for industry participation in projects that will help commercialize technology to use hydrogen as fuel and reflects the concerns of policymakers over rising air pollution and dependence on fossil fuels in the stationary power generation and transport sectors.

Recommending a budget allocation of Rs.2,765 crore in total till 2022 for adoption of hydrogen as fuel, the report said that “use of hydrogen as fuel for the stationary power generation and transportation sectors may lead to a permanent solution” to such problems.

“Transport emissions are about three-quarters from road vehicles. Over the past decade, transport’s greenhouse emissions have increased at a faster rate than any other energy-using sector. Hydrogen is an environmentally clean source of energy carrier to end-users, particularly in transportation applications, without release of pollutants such as particulate matter or carbon dioxide at the point of end use. It is being considered as the fuel for future, an environmentally friendly alternative to depleting fossil fuels. Its application in transportation can be a game-changer in future,” said the draft report...snip

While many Americans nitpick about what to call Hydrogen, Japan, Korea, Denmark, Germany, Scotland and now India recognize that whatever it's called, it's GREEN, and it WORKS. Meanwhile, many politicians in the US want to push fracking on the rest of the world. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/09/hillary-clinton-fracking-shale-state-department-chevron
