“Climate change is a serious issue and an immediate and evident change in energy sources and emission patterns is crucial for a greener future. Green hydrogen is one of the most prominent energy carriers and one of the promising paths toward Net zero emission. Nepal has the potential to be one of the cheapest producers of green hydrogen in the world. Research and innovation in the industrial usage of green hydrogen and its derivatives will significantly add value to the future of green Nepal”
