A two-day Green Hydrogen conference has started in Kathmandu. “Nepal Green Hydrogen Conference: Antidote for Melting Mountains” has started in Kathmandu from Monday.

Minister of Energy, Natural Resources and Irrigation Pampha Bhusal while inaugurating the conference expressed her best wishes saying that the production of green hydrogen energy is important for the economic prosperity and sustainable development of Nepal.

She said that by using electricity from water sources, water sources can be developed as hydrogen energy, so clean energy can be produced to meet the growing demand for renewable energy in Nepal. He said that Nepal can earn income by delivering the produced clean energy to other countries.

Minister Bhusal said that the use of renewable energy is inevitable, saying that the emissions from the consumption of fossil fuels affect the atmosphere a lot and there is a danger from problems such as climate change. The conference was organized by MIT Group and Global NRN along with Ministry of Energy and Finance.

Shesh Ghale, founder of MIT Foundation and former president of non-resident Nepali Association, said that now the world is in a new race to produce green hydrogen and all are in the same situation and Nepal can benefit enough. He has also brought to the attention of the government that there is no green hydrogen policy in Nepal.

He said that there is enough potential for Nepal to take global leadership in green hydrogen production. “Nepal can make a big leap by going to hydrogen energy through hydropower.”

He said that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine also sent a message that every country should be self-sufficient in energy, agriculture, and fertilizers, and that renewable energy is the key to depend on these sectors. He said that now is the time for Nepal to focus on ensuring investment for the production of ‘hydrogen from hydrogen’.

Experts have said that there is a possibility that Nepal can produce sufficient amount of hydroelectric power and export it abroad. Virajsingh Thapa, associate professor of Kathmandu University and team leader of Green Hydrogen Lab, said that hydrogen can be produced from water by consuming electricity and separating water through electrolysis method. He said that the produced hydrogen can also be exported abroad.

Giving his presentation at the conference, Associate Professor Thapa said that the produced green hydrogen can be used as a chemical feedstock in various industrial sectors including fertilizer factories, transport, ammonia production. He said that although its production cost is high compared to gray hydrogen, there are possibilities to reduce it. In the government report, it is estimated that it will cost 5.5 dollars to produce green hydrogen and more than 2 dollars to produce gray hydrogen.

The government has already studied the feasibility of using hydroelectric power to produce hydrogen and chemical fertilizers.

Leadership of Kathmandu University

Currently, it is studying and researching for the potential and production of green hydrogen in Nepal. The University is conducting academic and project based teaching and research through Green Hydrogen Lab under the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The university is also cooperating with various government agencies.

After the establishment of Green Hydrogen Lab in 2020, studies/research was increased by signing MoUs with various organizations including Nepal Oil Corporation, Alternative Energy Promotion Center, Electricity Authority.

Green Hydrogen Coordination Committee was formed in November 2021. After that, after discussing the policy, construction and other issues related to green hydrogen, Nepal Green Hydrogen Initiative (NHI) was established. The university has submitted a report to the Ministry of Energy regarding the production of a chemical fertilizer factory based on green hydrogen.

Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba’s climate advisor Madhav Karki also said that the consumption of renewable energy should be increased in order to deal with the problems seen in the current world environment. He was of the opinion that the use of renewable energy will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
