The steps has been taken following the recommendations by the Environment Pollution Prevention and Control Authority (EPCA) to the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>3. SC had recently directed the Delhi government to explore the feasibility of introducing H-fuel cell buses.<\/p>\n<p>4. The EPCA has, however, observed that instead of going for Hydrogen-fuel cell buses, H-CNG can be an intermediate solution.<\/p>\n<p>5. In the report submitted to the Supreme Court, EPCA has stated that,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>H-CNG, a mixture of Hydrogen and compressed natural gas (CNG), will lead to reduction of up to 70 % CO emissions and 15 % hydrocarbon emissions.<\/li>\n<li>Worldwide hydrogen is being blended with natural gas and then compressed to dispense into vehicles.<\/li>\n<li>US, Brazil, Canada, South Korea have all conducted trials and already using this hybrid fuel and found that, there are reduction in emissions from buses.<\/li>\n<li>Transition to H-CNG can be seamless as the existing infrastructure comprising buses, piping network and dispensing stations runs on CNG.<\/li>\n<li>The entire bus fleet of Delhi will run on Hydrogen CNG fuel by 2020-21.<\/li>\n<li>Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) R&amp;D Centre with IGL and Delhi transport department, be directed to give a plan for use of H-CNG in the entire bus fleet of the city, with a phased in schedule (including demonstration and tests to reduce NOx emissions).<\/li>\n<li>This schedule should provide for all steps to be taken within a period of 2-3 years.<\/li>\n<li>The H-CNG plan, after review by the SC, can be supported through the Environment Compensation Charge (ECC) funds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>6. Experts has stated that, with minimal changes, even a reduction in NOx levels is possible.<\/p>\n<p>7. The MoPNG and IOCL have now been asked to respond to the recommendations by the SC.<\/p>\n<p>8. After testing H-CNG in 50 buses in a depot, the fleet is likely to hit the road by August 2019.<\/p>\n<p>9. Test results will then be presented in front of Supreme Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City may soon have green fuel even cleaner than CNG News: Delhi will replace the CNG with H-CNG (hydrogen CNG) as a clean alternative fuel with testing to begin in September end.
