Bhubaneswar:Â NTPC Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Grid Corporation of Odisha (GRIDCO) and Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) to establish green hydrogen infrastructure in the state. GRIDCO is an Odisha government undertaking for energy, while CRUT is the state government’s public transit agency.
This tripartite agreement aims to strengthen green energy technologies in Odisha, with a special focus on the green hydrogen mobility scheme.
Under the MoU, NTPC will establish a green hydrogen fuelling station in Bhubaneswar along with providing hydrogen buses for short-haul and long-haul operations. This will allow the state to phase out fossil fuel buses in favour of clean and green fuel buses, thereby resulting in decarbonization and ensuring energy security.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy has also contributed partially to the setting up of this project in Bhubaneswar.
Other Green Hydrogen Initiatives of NTPC
The NTPC has been operating the green hydrogen blending project in Surat for the last two years and has taken similar mobility initiatives in Leh, Greater Noida, and Gujarat’s Kandla. In addition, it is also developing the green hydrogen hub in Visakhapatnam with an aim to reach 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.
