Sri Lanka’s Nationwide Hydrogen Roadmap, which goals to develop and deploy inexperienced hydrogen utilized sciences contained in the nation, was unveiled on Friday (Sept. 01).
Vitality & Vitality Minister Kanchana Wijesekera talked in regards to the roadmap was launched by the Petroleum Growth Authority of Sri Lanka (PADSL) and Greenstat Hydrogen India (a subsidiary of a Norwegian vitality company with a selected maintain inexperienced hydrogen, image voltaic, wind, and zero-emission maritime decisions) with the help of the USAID.

Together with the Offshore Wind Roadmap launched final week, Sri Lanka hopes to revenue from the immense potential in renewable vitality for inexperienced hydrogen transformation, Wijesekera talked about in a put up on X (beforehand Twitter).
