The Role of Green Hydrogen in Nepal''s Energy Transition

Green hydrogen can serve as energy storage, capturing surplus electricity during high hydropower generation. This stored energy can then be used during periods of low water flow or peak demand, enhancing grid stability and reliability. As most of Nepal''s hydropower plants are runoff river types, significant energy is expected to be surplus
