An MoU was signed for the setting up a Rs 4,000-crore green hydrogen and ammonia project in the state today.
CM Sukhvinder Sukhu said the MoU had been signed as part of the endeavour to become the first “Green State” of the country by 2026.
Director, Industries, Rakesh Kumar Prajapati and Managing Director of M/s HLC Green Energy LLC Sanjay Sharma signed the MoU in the presence of Industries Minister Harshwardhan Chauhan.
The CM said green hydrogen could help reduce greenhouse emissions, thereby contributing to the economy through import substitution. “HP is already known for green hydel energy and now the state will encourage clean energy projects such as ethanol, green hydrogen, green ammonia and solar.”
