Himachal Pradesh has advanced its clean energy plans by setting up the state’s first green hydrogen-based mobility station in Chamba, marking a key step towards sustainable transport, Himbu Mail reported.
The facility, currently under development in Chamba, is expected to produce around 20 kilograms of green hydrogen per day. Officials have described it as a major milestone in the state’s transition to low-carbon energy and a cleaner transport system, particularly in its environmentally sensitive hill regions.
The hydrogen produced at the station will be used for mobility, reducing dependence on petrol and diesel. Authorities say the initiative will help cut vehicular emissions, improve air quality and protect the fragile mountain ecosystem.
Energy department officials said that replacing fossil fuels with clean hydrogen would support climate-friendly transport and help preserve the region’s pristine air quality.
In addition to environmental benefits, the project is expected to generate employment opportunities for local youth in operations, maintenance and technical services. It is also likely to encourage the adoption of advanced clean energy technologies in remote and hilly areas.
The state government views the Chamba project as part of its broader push for eco-friendly growth and inclusive development. By promoting renewable energy and green fuels, Himachal Pradesh aims to strengthen its position in India’s expanding clean energy sector.
