State-owned power company NTPC has signed an agreement with GRIDCO and Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) to establish green hydrogen infrastructure in Odisha. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed on Monday, focuses on advancing green energy technologies in the state, with a special emphasis on green hydrogen mobility.
Under this collaboration, NTPC will set up a green hydrogen fueling station in Bhubaneswar and deploy hydrogen-powered buses for both short-haul and long-haul routes. This initiative aims to reduce dependence on fossil fuels by transitioning to clean and sustainable energy sources, promoting decarbonization and energy security.
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy is partially funding the project in Bhubaneswar. NTPC has been operating a green hydrogen blending project in Surat for two years and has undertaken similar mobility projects in Leh, Greater Noida, and Kandla in Gujarat. The company is also developing a green hydrogen hub in Visakhapatnam and plans to achieve 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032.
