India is planning to have one million hydrogen powered cars on the road by 2020. That's an enormous number of cars for a technology still working to find the right solution to challenges of reliability and affordability. They are also looking at 1000MW of power from hydrogen generation by the same date. If they succeed they will be placing their country at the forefront of the move to hydrogen power.
"The roadmap has proposed two major initiatives - the green initiative for future transport (GIFT) and green initiative for power generation (GIP)."
The green initiative for transport aims to develop and demonstrate a hydrogen-powered engine and fuel cell-based cars ranging from small two- and three- wheeled cars and taxis to buses and vans.
Emphasising that the roadmap would put India in the forefront of the new global hydrogen energy economy and provide sustainable energy security in future, Muttemwar said its implementation would help put one million hydrogen-driven vehicles on Indian roads by 2020.
