Sarawak Energy Hydrogen Plant Hydrogen-Powered Buses Operational Profile on Hydrogen-Powered Public Transport 1. Environmental Impact 1
Hydrogen fuel cell buses emit only water vapor, eliminating tailpipe pollutants such as CO2, NOx, and particulate matter. Each hydrogen bus can potentially reduce CO2 emissions by up to 90 metric tons per year compared to a diesel bus.
Zero Emissions
Air Quality Improvement
Adoption of hydrogen buses can significantly improve urban air quality, reducing health risks associated with air pollution.
1. Operational Efficiency 2
Hydrogen fuel cell buses have a range of 300-400 kilometres on a single tank, comparable to conventional diesel buses. Refuelling hydrogen buses takes about 10-15 minutes, much faster than recharging battery electric buses, which can take several hours. Hydrogen buses are known for their reliability and consistent performance, making them suitable for intensive urban transit operations.
