Pakistan's first solar-powered green hydrogen plant will soon be established in Thattha in collaboration with China. The project is a massive success towards a sustainable future.
Pakistan will soon produce green hydrogen using renewable energy, including solar and wind power.
Sindh Energy Minister Imtiaz Ahmed Shaikh announced that Pakistan's first-ever green hydrogen plant would soon be established in Thattha.
He said, "The Sindh government has issued the Letter of Intent for the project, and 7,000 acres of land have been allotted for the project at Gharo in Thatta district."
The plant can generate 150,000 KG of green hydrogen from 400 MW power capacity. The project is believed to be green because the electricity used to generate hydrogen is produced from renewable energy sources.
In 2021, the Sindh government signed an MoU with a Chinese company. The project will be allotted 7,000 of land near the Gharo Jhimpir wind corridor in Thatta. It will take approximately three years for the project completion.
Reports allegedly say that over ten large market economies have already established hydrogen policies.
The hydrogen will be produced by electrolysis through the power generated from renewable energy resources, solar and wind turbines.
Hydrogen gas is a green alternative to other resources, such as it can be used as fuel for transportation, power generation, and industrial purposes. Hydrogen is a clean fuel that releases no greenhouse gasses or carbon footprint on combustion.
Utilizing hydrogen gas as a fuel alternative is a wise choice to make the environment free from pollution. Unlike fossil fuels, hydrogen gas releases no carbon dioxide that may harm the ecosystem.
