ISRO Working on Green Fuels Like Hydrogen Peroxide for Rockets
(India Times Energy World) ISRO Chairman said that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is looking at green propulsion through hydrogen peroxide in its rocket that would take Indians into the space under its ‘Gaganyaan’ mission.
The Indian space rockets are set to go green as ISRO is working to replace its existing hazardous fuel with non-hazardous and environment- friendly fuels for its rockets and satellites, the ISRO Chairman said.
He also said that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is looking at green propulsion through hydrogen peroxide in its rocket that would take Indians into the space under its ‘Gaganyaan’ mission.

ISRO is also looking at rocket engines powered by hydrogen peroxide as a mono-propellant or as a bi-propellant along with ethanol.
ISRO is also developing another green fuel – LOX/Methane- liquid oxygen as oxidiser and methane as fuel.

The LOX/Methane propellant has advantages in terms of specific impulse, storability, low toxicity, and cost.
According to Sivan, the space agency is looking to replace its existing liquid engine fuels with green fuel-powered ones. READ MORE
