Nepal has successfully tested a new technology to produce green hydrogen gas for cooking, marking a significant step in alternative clean energy development. The pilot project in Baglung, initiated three years ago, has advanced to filling cylinders and using the gas in cooking stoves, demonstrating its practicality. Future phases will focus on safe distribution and commercial expansion, according to Mohandas Manandhar of the Nepal Energy Foundation.

  • The project utilizes surplus electricity from the Giringdikhola small hydropower project, established in 2066 BS, which would otherwise go to waste.
  • Over the past three years, eight cylinders have been filled with green hydrogen gas through a study involving seven technical institutions.
  • The technology involves separating oxygen from water via electrolysis to extract and store hydrogen gas in cylinders.
  • Cooking with the generated hydrogen gas has been demonstrated as straightforward and practical.
  • The initiative is a collaborative effort involving several universities and scientific institutions, including Tribhuvan University.
