Gas power: hydrogen to fuel 1 million vehicles by 2020

The Indian government is planning to produce 1.1 million tonne of hydrogen fuel annually by 2020 for running at least one million vehicles. The estimated cost of setting up this capacity: a cool Rs 25,000 crore.

Decentralised hydrogen-based power generation of about 1,000 mw aggregate capacity has been planned. The investment would be required for R&D, demonstration and creation of infrastructure for hydrogen production, storage, transportation and distribution, for meeting the requirement of hydrogen, under Green Initiative for Future Transport and Green Initiative for Power Generation.
