“The application of hydrogen fits perfectly in the context of Nepal. Its scope varies widely from enhancing energy security, reducing the trade deficit to promoting the use of hydroelectricity. While the world is adopting hydrogen as part of their economy, there is an urgent need for Nepal to recognize its potential. We, at Green Hydrogen Lab, are dedicated to promoting green hydrogen in Nepal.”
