Cochin Shipyard Delivers India's First Indigenous Hydrogen Fuel Cell Inland Vessel

Quiz (3) Mains (1) Comments

In a milestone for India's maritime decarbonisation, state-run Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) delivered the nation's first indigenously designed and constructed hydrogen fuel cell passenger vessel.

Key Facts

In a milestone for India's maritime decarbonisation, state-run Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) delivered the nation's first indigenously designed and constructed hydrogen fuel cell passenger vessel. Developed under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways' Harit Nauka initiative, the zero-emission catamaran vessel utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell power system, generating electricity through the chemical reaction of compressed hydrogen and atmospheric oxygen with zero greenhouse gas emissions, discharging only water vapour as a byproduct. The successful commercial pilot opens new pathways for clean maritime mobility across national waterways.

GK Context

The Harit Nauka guidelines, launched by the Union Government in early 2024, mandate that all inland passenger vessels transition to clean green fuels (electric, hybrid, and green hydrogen) across inland waterways by 2047. India's maritime green initiatives are aligned with the Maritime India Vision 2030 and Maritime Amrit Kaal Vision 2047, supporting carbon neutrality commitments under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) GHG reduction strategy.
