NTPC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the UT of Ladakh and the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) to establish India’s first Green Hydrogen Mobility project. Leh will be the first city in India to implement a zero-emission green hydrogen mobility project. In the beginning, NTPC intends to operate 5 hydrogen buses. The first solar installations by NTPC in Leh, in the form of solar trees and a solar carport, were also unveiled.
Blue hydrogen is hydrogen that is produced from fossil fuels and has carbon capture and storage capabilities.
Green hydrogen is hydrogen that is produced entirely from sources. Renewable energy electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and Oxygen.
