IndianOil unveil India`s first H-CNG fuelled vehicle
Mr.Dinsha Patel, Minister of State for Petroleum & Natural Gas, took the first test drive of India`s first vehicle fuelled on H-CNG, during PETROTECH-2009 event. He applauded the efforts of IndianOil, the nodal agency of the country, to usher in hydrogen as future transport fuel.
IndianOil-R&D had set up the country`s first H-CNG dispensing station in the year 2005 for conducting emission and performance characteristics studies on three and four-wheelers vehicles using various blends of hydrogen in CNG. The thorough research being conducted by the team of scientists at IndianOil has shown that the blend of Hydrogen-CNG is feasible and safe. It also will lead to an improved engine performance and reduce emissions to the extent of 30-35% in Hydrocarbons and Carbon monoxide and about 10-12% in oxides of nitrogen.
IndianOil is currently engaged in deep research on the `applications and safety aspects` of hydrogen as auto fuel whilst other institutions and industries have been entrusted to investigate and develop appropriate infrastructure for effective utilisation of hydrogen fuel.

Vehicles fueled by hydrogen should and will be the future of India's transportation system. The long-term goal is to produce this hydrogen from renewable sources. Until then, India can begin reaping the benefits of hydrogen by reforming natural gas.
The similarities between hydrogen and natural gas provide a bridge to help shorten the distance to a zero-emissions alternative fuel. Both natural gas and hydrogen can fuel internal combustion engines. Hydrogen fuel storage, fuel, compression and dispensing systems are based on existing CNG technology. Natural gas fueling stations up and running today can be used, with minimal retrofitting, to fuel vehicles that operate on hydrogen, natural gas, or a blend of both.
Every natural gas fueling site offers the potential to become a future hydrogen fueling site, with relatively minimal requirements to make the transition. The engineers, mechanics, inspectors, and other professionals with expertise in natural gas can also transition that expertise to hydrogen. This is how the natural gas of today becomes the hydrogen of tomorrow.
