Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), BPCL will spearhead the development and operation of the integrated green hydrogen production facility and fueling station at the Cochin Airport campus. The plant will utilize renewable energy sources, like solar or wind power, to electrolyze water, generating clean hydrogen fuel with zero carbon emissions.

This green hydrogen will then be used to power various airport operations, including ground support vehicles, baggage tractors, and potentially aircraft in the future. Additionally, the fueling station will cater to hydrogen-powered vehicles, promoting their adoption in the region and contributing to cleaner transportation.
