Sri Lanka embarks on ambitious Green Hydrogen project
Sri Lanka is to embark on an ambitious project of producing Green Hydrogen which is considered as environment friendly energy source in collaboration with a Norwegian company, Greenstat Hydrogen Ltd based in India.
Energy Minister Udya Gammanpila disclosed that the Petroleum Development Authority of Sri Lanka (PDASL) signed an MOU with Greenstat Hydrogen on Monday to launch pilot project for generating green hydrogen in Sri Lanka.

The Government has taken a policy decision towards the goal of decarbonisation by the year 2050.To achieve this objective, Sri Lanka will have to convert from fossil fuel to green energy production supply slowly but surely, he added.
Greenstat Hydrogen India Ltd, which is an affiliated body of Greenstat AS of Norway, will conduct a feasibility study on a pilot project for generating green hydrogen using a combination of floating solar and wind, he revealed.
The Cabinet of Ministers granted approval for the proposal submitted by the Energy Minister Udaya Gammanpila to enter into an agreement between PDASL and Greenstat Hydrogen India Ltd. to conduct the feasibility study.
