National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap aiming to generate 1,000 megawatts of hydrogen-based power by 2020 |
The Government is planning to invest Rs25,000 crore to cover the cost of creating infrastructure for hydrogen production, storage and distribution.
Indian Oil Corporation is currently testing vehicles powered by a mixture of 10 percent hydrogen with compressed natural gas. In Oct 2005, it set up its first hydrogen fuelling station in Faridabad.
So far, experiments have shown that hydrogen applications in fuel cells are three times more efficient than the internal combustion engines.
