Green Hydrogen, Trespone, Kargil

Pilot Project for Green Hydrogen based
Mobility Station at Trespone, Kargil, Ladakh

Introduction
Ladakh has huge renewable power potential. The difficulty of
establishing a transmission system all around the Ladakh with
sufficient power evacuation capability has become a significant
obstacle to harnessing the region’s potential for clean energy.
Green Hydrogen is another option in Ladakh, as the region has
plenty of solar, Hydro and wind energy. Green Hydrogen harnessed in
the region could be used to substitute petrol, diesel and other
hydrocarbon and the oxygen could be used in hospitals and industries.
By 2030, Govt of India has set up target to make Ladakh Carbon
Neutral. It means vehicles plying in Ladakh either will be electric
vehicle or hydrogen vehicle. Petrol and diesel vehicles making
environment polluted. But without vehicle, life can not be moved up.
So, NHPC is setting up Pilot Project for Green Hydrogen based
Mobility Station at Trespone, Kargil, Ladakh. Success of this pilot
project will be the gateway for overall development and employment
generation in Ladakh.
PRODUCTION & TECHNOLOGY
 Green Hydrogen refers to hydrogen produced through
electrolysis, whichsplits water molecules (H2O) into hydrogen
(H2) and oxygen (O2) using electricity generated from
renewable sources like solar, wind, or hydro.
It generates no polluting emissions into the

atmosphere and is the cleanest and most sustainable
hydrogen.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the heart of the production process, several
developments are taking place, through R&D, focussing on
efficiency , life and cost of the electrolyser stack.
Popular Technology:
Alkaline electrolyser,
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane
Electrolyzers (PEM)
Solid Oxide Electrolyzers
(SOEC)
Chemical Equation:
2 H2O -> O2 + 2 H2
Green Hydrogen Uses
Advantages of green hydrogen
 Green hydrogen is a clean and sustainable fuel source that
does not produce greenhouse gases so named green.
 It is storable, versatile, and transportable, making it an
ideal fuel for use in cars and other vehicles.
 Job creation : The green hydrogen industry has the
potential to create millions of new jobs around the world.
 Economic growth: The green hydrogen industry can help
to boost economic growth and create new markets for
renewable energy.
 Improved air quality: Green hydrogen can help to
improve air quality by reducing emissions from industry
and transportation
India is batting big to take leading position to
become Hydrogen Hub
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Q: What benefit people of Ladakh will get?
2. Answer: Solar Power plant of 500kW with pilot hydrogen mobility station,
is very small scale project. The R&D project has very limited job
generation potential in itself due to its small size, but its success will
be very helpful for local students to gain knowledge and skill
development in emerging sector of Green Hydrogen.
Project will attract CSR activities in the area. Also it will bring name
of remote village of Kargil on national map and may be a landmark
project for development of the whole region.
Further, success of this pilot project will leads to mass production of
Green Hydrogen all around the Ladakh thereby will attract other related
industries in the area and will be boon in overall development and
creation of employment.
2 Q: Using water for production of Hydrogen will deplete ground water
level?
Answer: Not much water shall be required for the plant, it's even less than what
is used on daily basis at normal home around 250 litres only
3 Q: H2 is highly inflammable gas so what are the hazards
with this industry? What are the safety measures to
overcome the Hazards?
Answer: Contractor shall take necessary regulatory approvals from
Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) for the
storage and high-pressure components and also for the layout of
the hydrogen station on behalf of NHPC. Necessary Fire Safety
hydrants will be installed, adequate safety features are provided
in design and layout of project. Also since the quantity of H2
shall only be 40 kg (too small) shall be stored in suitable storage
vessels.
In starting people start to oppose any new thing. LPG is
highly inflammable. LPG gas cylinders can burst but people use
the same in their kitchen. Petrol is highly inflammable but
safety in the car is provided that people start to use. Even you
have listen about bursting of pressure cooker. But safety
valve is provided in it. Will people start not to use these things
as these are the risky?
