NTPC floats tender for India's first green hydrogen fueling station

30 Jul 2021 CW Team

In Leh and Ladakh, NTPC's renewable arm has announced a domestic tender to build India's first green hydrogen fueling station.

NTPC Renewable Energy (NTPC REL) will begin selling bids on 31 July 2021. The tender comes after NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) recently announced a tender for fuel cell buses in Ladakh. According to an official statement, NTPC REL and NVVN will work together to implement the green mobility project in the Union Territory of Ladakh.

The tender follows the announcement of a tender for fuel cell buses in Ladakh by NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN). According to an official statement, NTPC REL and NVVN will collaborate to implement the green mobility project in the Union Territory of Ladakh.

To make the hydrogen fueling station completely green, NTPC REL is also building a dedicated 1.25 MW solar plant in Leh. The solar plant contract should be awarded within a month.

NTPC REL and the Union Territory of Ladakh previously signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the development of green hydrogen technologies in the high altitude region.

The project will mark a significant step forward in the region's efforts to create a cleaner and greener ecosystem. The project's successful completion will also ease the union territory of Ladakh's surface transportation issues, as well as provide a major boost to tourism in the region, according to the statement.

NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC Ltd in 2002 to capitalise on the country's power trading potential. According to the most recent CERC regulation, NVVN holds the highest Category "I" power trading licence.

NTPC is India's largest energy conglomerate, founded in 1975 to aid India's power development. Since then, it has established itself as the leading power company, with operations spanning the entire value chain of power generation. It has moved away from fossil fuels and now generates electricity using nuclear, hydro and renewable energy sources.

This expedition will help the company reduce its carbon footprint by lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
