Following up on its previous commitment to introduce flex fuels (gasoline mixed with ethanol), the Road and Transport Ministry said that guidelines and regulations will soon be published. The ministry plans to make Flex Fuels mandatory. Common Ethanol mixed flexible fuels are E5, E10, E85, E95. The number indicates the percentage of ethanol mixed with gasoline.
In Pune, sustainability is being pushed, through farm soil and papier-mâché Ganesh idols. Akshay Kauthale and Anay Marathe who are based in the city have created ‘Vruksha Gajanan’ idols, which are not only sustainable but also help grow saplings once they are immersed.

TVS Motors company, one of the leading two-wheelers manufacturers in the world announced that they are set to invest ₹1,200 crores in Future technologies and electric vehicles in Tamil Nadu in the next four years.
India’s northern plains are home to the most polluted cities on the planet, with 13 of them making it to the top 15 most polluted cities in the world. India’s vehicular pollution added more than 300 million tons of CO2 to the atmosphere and it is only going to increase if the country doesn’t take drastic steps towards green sources of energy like green hydrogen . The steel industry heavily relies on fossil fuel for heating iron making furnaces 50% of the heating furnaces in Indian coal industry is coal, it resulted in more than 240 tons of carbon dioxide in the last year which is 12% of India’s carbon emission. There is an industry wide consensus that the use of green hydrogen can drastically improve the efficiency and the state of carbon emissions of the steel industry.
Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have successfully invented a technology that has the ability to yield hydrogen from biomass. India currently uses about 50 lakh tonnes of hydrogen in several sectors and the new technology has the potential to escalate the country’s green energy capacity and meet these requirements.
The South Korean government will supply 27.9 million tons of hydrogen annually as 100 percent clean hydrogen by 2050. The ‘1st Basic Hydrogen Economy Implement Plan’ was announced by the government in November last year. The government is planning to convert already existing hydrogen plants to clean hydrogen plants, aiming to produce 750,000 tons of green hydrogen by 2030 and 2 million tons by 2050.
Linde Engineering received a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract from Equinor for the H2H Saltend low-carbon hydrogen production facility. Additionally, Equinor gave Linde's company, BOC, a contract for operation and maintenance services.
In an effort to achieve carbon neutrality by the middle of the century, the European Union is pushing to increase the use of renewable energy, but this effort has been slowed down by a disagreement over hydrogen's role in the transition.
India's first hydrogen-powered train is expected to run from Jind district in Haryana. The train is being developed by the Northern Railway and is expected to be operational by March 2024. The train will be manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai. The train is being developed by the Indian Railways and the National Hydrogen Energy Development Agency (NHIDCL).
The Finland-based startup, 18 Wheels developing the world's first eco-friendly all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The ATV is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which produces no emissions and is very quiet. It also has a range of over 200 miles and can be refueled in minutes.
In an attempt to escalate towards the net-zero target, India has launched its first green hydrogen fuel cell bus. This is a significant step towards sustainable transportation in India, and it has the potential to revolutionize the way we commute.
