We know Nepal is the second richest country in the world in terms of water resources with the capacity to generate 84,000 MW of electricity.

The reality is that to date, even 2% of that power generation capacity has not been exceeded. The country's people and energy producers are concerned that such resources are not being used.

 

Hydropower projects of more than 20,000 MW are under some level of development. In the last few years, there has been a sudden increase in discussions on the sustainability of Nepal's hydropower sector, as domestic demand falls short of projected production capacity. Production of chemical fertilizer from hydrogen is developing as a potential business for Nepal. Which can contribute to the elimination of hydropower, food security, local employment, trade deficit and many other problems.

 

Hydrogen is processed from water using a machine called an electrolyzer, which divides water into its components, hydrogen and oxygen, using an electric current. Gas produced using renewable energy or carbon-free electricity sources has zero carbon footprint, which is called green hydrogen. The production and supply of green hydrogen energy from hydropower could be a new and golden business for Nepal in the future. 

In the current situation when the whole world is moving towards a hydrogen based economy, it is not natural for a developing country like Nepal to lag behind alone. Therefore, for the study of this technology, there is a need for scientific research and investigation in Nepali educational institutions.

 

Today, Green Hydrogen Lab at Kathmandu University under Department of Mechanical Engineering aims to develop multi-disciplinary Lab with a vision to specialize Nepalese Industries to produce, store, transport, and use green hydrogen energy at a commercial level.

The GHLab's dream agenda is to develop foundations for the development of the Green Hydrogen Ecosystem in Nepal.

Green Hydrogen Lab




 

Green Hydrogen Lab is working to link the idea of using hydrogen as a potential energy carrier for the transition to a hydrogen economy.

With the mission of Technology transfer, Innovations, and Local adaptation of green hydrogen energy systems in Nepal through a continuous research and development activities, their vision is “Nepalese industries specialized to produce, store, transport, and use green hydrogen at a commercial level”. 

Green Hydrogen Lab has launched research into different fields that will lead the energy to green hydrogen in Nepal. The Nepal Oil Corporation and KU have signed the MoU to cooperate on the fuel and energy sector growth.


 

An MOU was signed by Kathmandu University (KU) and Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) on 08 January 2021 to promote mutual interest in the growth of the fuel and energy sector and to contribute to enhanced cooperation between academic institutions and government corporations.

The MOU has been signed by Dr. Bahadur Nepali, Dean of School of Engineering, KU, and Er. Deepak Baral, Director, NOC.

NOC is still known as a company that buys from India and sells fuel on the Nepali market. With this MOU, the business has opened up a new opportunity for research and investment in Green Hydrogen as Nepal's alternative and potential fuel.

In the development of technology which can produce green hydrogen from electricity, the MoU between NOC and KU is significant. There will be electricity surplus soon in the future, and investment in the hydropower sector will be severely affected if plans and preparations for its alternative use are not made in good time.

Following the agreement, KU will also provide the requisite engineering consultancy for the related project activities that the company is currently running.

KU's Green Hydrogen Lab is committed to moving the country further towards the adoption of Hydrogen technologies in a safe and sustainable manner.

Hyundai Motor Group, South Korea's automotive behemoth, aimed to continue guaranteeing its future growth in tandem with China's reform and opening-up, a Hyundai executive said.
"Since entering the Chinese market in 2002, Hyundai Motor and (its affiliate) Kia Motors have been a part of China's rapidly expanding automotive sector that was enabled by the reform and opening-up," Kim Sae Hoon, vice president and head of fuel cell center at Hyundai, said in an interview.
Side by side with China's reform and opening-up, Hyundai and Kia were anticipated to achieve a "greater growth" in addition to its hydrogen and electric vehicle vision scheduled to be on display in the upcoming China International Import Expo (CIIE), Kim noted.  The second CIIE, to be held in Shanghai from Nov. 5 to 10, will bring together more than 3,000 companies from about 150 countries and regions.
For the second CIIE, Hyundai prepared contents showcasing hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle, fuel-cell technologies, electric vehicle concept car, and future mobility, Kim noted.
The Hyundai executive said China paid much attention to hydrogen-powered electric vehicles, forecasting that China would lead the fuel-cell electric vehicle market if the global standard of relevant regulations is set up.
 Kim noted that Hyundai will more closely cooperate with Chinese companies for the mass-production of hydrogen-powered vehicles, which will eventually reduce production costs.
 "We aim to lead China's increasingly advancing automotive market, using our world-class eco-friendly technologies and investments in clean mobility areas, encompassing electric, fuel-cell electric and other vehicles," Kim said.

Hyundai Motor Company is spearheading the development of a hydrogen society and fuel cell commercial vehicle ecosystem in China with regional partners.

Hyundai Motor announced today that it has signed an MOU with Shanghai Electric Power Co. Ltd., Shanghai Sunwise New Energy System Co. Ltd., and Shanghai Ronghe Electric Technology Financial Leasing Co. Ltd., with an aim of establishing a hydrogen mobility ecosystem around Shanghai and Yangtze River Delta area.

The company also signed a separate MOU with China Iron and Steel Research Institute Group (CISRI) and Hebei Iron and Steel Group (HBIS Group) for an equivalent aim in the Jing-Jin-Ji area as it introduced Hyundai XCIENT Fuel Cell heavy-duty truck for the first time in China at the 2020 China International Import Expo (CIIE).

The MOU among Hyundai, Shanghai Electric Power, Shanghai Sunwise New Energy System, and Shanghai Ronghe Electric Technology Financial Leasing will form a cooperative system that connects the production of hydrogen, construction of refueling stations, and financing of fleet operations based on the supply of Hyundai’s fuel cell electric commercial vehicles in the Yangtze River Delta area. In addition, it plans to promote a pilot operation business of fuel cell electric vehicles.

Shanghai Electric Power will lead investments in constructing hydrogen refueling stations and an electrolytic hydrogen production process using renewable energy as well as propelling a hydrogen production project through the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC).

Shanghai Sunwise will build and operate hydrogen refueling stations and provide comprehensive solutions for hydrogen refueling, while Shanghai Ronghe Electric Technology Financial Leasing will provide financial support services for the fuel cell electric commercial vehicle pilot operations.

Hyundai Motor will supply its fuel cell electric commercial vehicles to major logistics companies in the Yangtze River Delta area where the company is going to establish and manage a fuel cell electric commercial vehicle operating company.

Through the MOU, the four parties aim to construct a cost-competitive and highly efficient business model drawing on each company’s respective expertise, supplying more than 3,000 fuel cell electric trucks in the Yangtze River Delta area by 2025.

Hyundai is cooperating closely with its Chinese partners in line with the Chinese government’s fuel cell roadmap, which aims to have 1 million fuel cell electric vehicles by 2030. Hyundai’s goal is to supply over 27,000 FCEV units in China by 2030 as the company plans to further strengthen its position as a leading global FCEV technology brand through this multilateral cooperation in China.
