Less CNG And More Substance: Here’s What Will Replace Delhi’s Primary Fuel
There is a plan to introduce H-CNG, which is less of a pollutant, in the national capital
In a bid to tackle Delhi’s rising air pollution, the capital city could see the launch of Hydrogen-Compressed Natural Gas (H-CNG) which is supposed to be a cleaner version of CNG. It would be worth noting that CNG had been introduced as a palliative to the extreme pollution caused by petrol and diesel vehicles in the National Capital Region (NCR).
H-CNG is essentially a green fuel consisting of a mixture of Hydrogen and CNG. It has been reported that a mix consisting of 18 per cent Hydrogen gas can reduce the quantities of harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide (CO) and other harmful emissions.
The idea to introduce H-CNG comes on the heels of the apex court directing the government authorities and Indian Oil Corporation to explore the possibility of using this fuel mixture as a pollution mitigating alternative. Along with a reduction in the levels of harmful pollutants, it is expected that the introduction of this green fuel would lead to a drop in fuel prices, thus benefiting consumers reeling from high retail fuel prices.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
