  • Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Science & Technology Jitendra Singh launched India's first indigenously developed Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus developed by KPIT-CSIR in Pune.
  • The hydrogen fuel cell uses hydrogen and air to generate electricity, producing only heat and water in the process.
  • Hydrogen fuel cells like the one present in the bus produce electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen atoms. 
  • The two gases react across an electrochemical cell similar to a conventional battery cell to produce electricity, water and small amounts of heat. 
  • This electricity is then used by electric motors to propel the vehicle forward.
  • Just like conventional cells, a fuel cell consists of an anode (negative electrode) and cathode (positive electrode) sandwiched around an electrolyte.
