Nepal’s Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Pampha Bhusal was presented with a report on Friday from a committee that studied how electricity demand and supply could be balanced by producing hydrogen energy using electric energy.
Bhusal was given a copy of a report by the secretary of the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat. Nepal has been advised to move forward by drafting a legal framework for green hydrogen regulation in the report.
Seven members of a seven-person study committee were formed by the ministry on November 17, 2021, under the leadership of the Water and Energy Commission Secretariat’s joint secretary to produce green hydrogen from hydropower as a source of renewable energy, according to a ministry statement.
An energy expert from Tribhuvan University and Kathmandu University was on the study committee, as well as a Deputy Executive Director of an alternative energy promotion center, a Chief Divisional Engineer of Water and Energy Commission, and an Energy Specialist from Tribhuvan University.
