Nepal's renewable energy landscape presents a promising opportunity for hydrogen production, with a specific focus on solar and hydropower resources. The country's solar energy potential is substantial, as evidenced by studies indicating a technical potential of 432 GW, surpassing the economic and technical potential of hydropower. Recent developments in Nepal's renewable energy sector include the establishment of new solar plants with a combined capacity of 90 MW, with plans to further boost solar energy capacity through strategic Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and competitive bidding processes. On the hydropower front, Nepal boasts an installed capacity of 3,255 MW, with ambitious targets to generate 28,500 MW by 2035, including significant exports to neighboring countries. Despite its commitment to electricity exports, Nepal recognizes the surplus electricity generated through hydropower can be utilized for hydrogen production, leveraging the stable energy output of hydropower for electrolysis. The article delves into a comprehensive comparison of solar and hydropower for hydrogen production, emphasizing factors such as energy generation stability, land use efficiency, and project timelines. While hydropower offers uninterrupted energy streams ideal for hydrogen production, solar energy faces challenges related to its dependency on sunlight availability and land use requirements. The operational lifespan and construction duration of solar and hydropower projects also differ significantly, impacting their feasibility for hydrogen production. In conclusion, the article advocates for a balanced approach to leveraging Nepal's renewable energy potential for hydrogen production, considering the strengths and limitations of both solar and hydropower systems. By strategically integrating these resources, Nepal can optimize its energy mix, enhance energy security, and contribute to the global transition towards green hydrogen.
