The environment in Singapore and GreenLite

GreenLite, Singapore’s first hydrogen-powered public bus      
     
Singapore’s first hydrogen-powered public bus will hit the streets next month.

It’ll be the first such bus in Southeast Asia and promises to help save the environment.

Called GreenLite, it does not emit carbon and is “low” on noise.

It’s powered by a battery system and fuel cell technology that “converts” hydrogen into electrical energy and creates pure water as a by-product.

The bus is jointly developed by researchers from Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and China’s Tsinghua University over seven months.

GreenLite will be used first as a shuttle bus for athletes and officials at the Youth Olympic Village next month.
