KPIT Technologies has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL) during the Global Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Summit in Kochi to promote hydrogen-based mobility initiatives in Kerala.
This initiative, part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, involves the establishment of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (HRS) in Kochi and Trivandrum to support pilot mobility projects between the two cities, paving the way for safe and sustainable hydrogen-powered public transport. This collaboration supports the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative by integrating homegrown technologies for a strong hydrogen ecosystem. BPCL plans to deploy a locally developed alkaline electrolyser for hydrogen production, and KPIT Technologies will contribute an indigenously designed fuel cell-powered bus.
The project seeks to gather crucial data on the performance of fuel cell buses in Kerala's varying climatic conditions, which include high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and heavy rainfall. This information will enhance the reliability of fuel cell technology and support future extensive deployment of hydrogen-powered transportation. BPCL's Hydrogen Refuelling Stations will create high-purity (>99.99%) green hydrogen for the buses, ensuring a sustainable energy source. BPCL will also gain practical experience in hydrogen dispensing, which will help develop a robust hydrogen mobility framework in India.
KPIT Technologies is a global technology company with software solutions that will help mobility leapfrog towards an autonomous, clean, smart and connected future.
