“The state is producing thermal, hydro, wind and solar power in a major way in the country. An electrolyser can be set up near the solar power facility to produce green hydrogen from water and I am confident that like agriculture, Madhya Pradesh will remain top in producing green hydrogen in the country which is futuristic fuel,” he said.
“Rs 16 lakh crore the country is spending on importing fuel would go to farmers’ fields as they would produce green fuel in a major way,” he added. Gadkari said he uses a hydrogen-powered car in Delhi and claimed hydrogen would also be used in industries and the automobile sector in a big way by replacing coal and oil.
For the first time in history, bio-fuel produced by farmers was being used in the aviation and automobile sectors, which is turning farmers into energy producers, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Union minister said.
