Hydrogen to replace Diesel, LPG soon; Delhi Transport minister inaugurates HCNG plant at Rajghat
New Delhi: Delhi Transport Minister, Kailash Gahlot on Wednesday inaugurated HCNG Plant and Dispensing Station at Rajghat Depot. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Union Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas, Dharmendra Pradhan together with senior officers from the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Delhi Transport Department, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) and Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL).
The 4 Tonne/day Compact reformer-based HCNG manufacturing Plant has been set-up by IOCL in collaboration with the Transport Department of Delhi. The Delhi Transport Department has supplied a fund of Rs 15 Cr. for the organising of the Plant and conducting the research.
Further, 50 Cluster buses have been earmarked by the Transport Department for holding demonstration trials beginning in the present day for a interval of 6 months. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has additionally notified HCNG as a gas beginning September 2020.
Hydrogen enriched- Compressed Natural Gas or HCNG, is predicted to be step one to a Hydrogen Economy and can be utilized rather than gasoline, diesel gas / LPG and its combustion produces fewer undesirable gases compared to regular vehicle gas.
It reduces the emission of CO upto 70% and will increase the gas effectivity by upto 3% leading to general gas financial savings of round 5%. Switch to HCNG gas requires minimal modifications to the present buses.
Hon’ble Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot stated, “We are beginning the 6 month trial of HCNG gas in 50 BS-IV compliant buses of Rajghat depot beginning in the present day. Delhi, because the nation’s capital, is taking a lead in selling environment-conscious transport insurance policies, like adopting cleaner fuels like HCNG, Electric Vehicles and so on.’’
“The most important benefit of HCNG fuel is that it emits 70% less Carbon monoxide, will reduce total hydrocarbons emissions by around 15%, along with 3-4% increased fuel efficiency. Over the course of this 6-month trial, the tailpipe emissions of the buses will be continuously monitored and analyzed. I am assured that once the trial is successfully completed, use of HCNG can be scaled up to other buses and private vehicles in Delhi,” the minister added.
