A pilot project in India set to assess hydrogen fuel cell vehicles viability in the country

 The Indian hydrogen economy has received a boost with the Transport Ministry launching a new pilot project to study and evaluate a fuel cell Toyota Mirai on Indian roads and assess its performance in the country’s climatic conditions.

This is according to The Print, with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles holding promise in the transportation sector due to their adaptability whilst also being highly regarded as a zero-emission fuel for vehicles.

Should this study and assessment be successful it could see an influx of hydrogen technology and vehicles on Indian roads creating further demand for the clean energy carrier and investment opportunities in India.

India has also been progressing its hydrogen economy in the past year and this adds to the existing potential the country has to become a key player in the global value chain.

Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways India, said, “Green Hydrogen can be generated from renewable energy and abundantly available biomass. Introduction and adoption of technology to tap into the green hydrogen’s potential will play a key role in securing a clean and affordable energy future for India.
