KATHMANDU: The study has been started for the first time in Nepal to conduct activities ranging from hydrogen production, marketing, and export.

Nepal Oil Corporation (NCO), which has been importing, storing, and trading petroleum products, has taken the lead in this field with the idea of producing, consuming, and exporting hydrogen which is considered an important source of clean energy in the future.

NOC Managing Director Surendra Poudyal of the corporation said that the corporation has taken the initiative to start work immediately by estimating the future of the energy sector, Gorkhapatra Daily reported on Sunday.

“The world has come a long way in terms of hydrogen. The corporation has started working without delay to use this technology and promote clean energy,” he said. “If we don’t understand that hydrogen is a strong and good source of the future, we may fall behind.”
