Hydrogen fuel cell bus: About the Event:

• Hydrogen-powered vehicles offer a great way to get rid of the pollution produced by big commercial traffic on the road.
• The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus is the result of KPIT and CSIR-collaborative NCL’s development efforts.

Emission of CO2 by buses: About

• A single diesel bus operating on long-distance routes typically releases 100 tonnes of CO2 yearly, and there are over one million of these buses in operation.
• In India, there are over a million diesel buses, each of which generates 100 tonnes of CO2 annually as it travels long distances.
• In sharp contrast to heavy commercial diesel vehicles, which emit 12–14% more CO2 and particulate matter, fuel cell vehicles also produce zero greenhouse gas emissions.
