“Green hydrogen, produced from renewable sources like hydropower, holds massive potential for Nepal’s development goals. For transportation, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) offer a clean alternative to traditional fossil fuel vehicles, particularly for long-distance routes or heavy-duty applications where battery electric vehicles (BEVs) may struggle with range limitations. In re-electrification, hydrogen can be stored and converted back to electricity during peak demand periods, smoothing out the variability of hydropower generation and ensuring a stable, clean energy supply for Nepal’s growing needs.”
