The V.O. Chidambaranar (VoC) Port is set to roll out a Green Hydrogen Pilot Project aimed at establishing a bunkering facility for green hydrogen and its derivatives. The initiative seeks to support the gradual adoption of green fuels in the shipping sector by providing refuelling infrastructure for vessels operating on both domestic and international routes.
According to a written reply in the Lok Sabha by the Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, the project is expected to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions while generating direct and indirect employment opportunities in the manufacturing, storage, and ancillary services associated with green fuels.
This pilot marks a strategic step toward decarbonizing India’s maritime transport and promoting sustainable fuel alternatives in the country’s shipping industry.
