The visit took place on February 26 and was aimed at understanding the plant’s pioneering clean energy initiatives. CM Adityanath focused on examining the power-to-gas system, which is integral to the plant’s operations. This system utilizes electricity generated from renewable sources, including solar and wind energy, to convert it into hydrogen fuel.

The hydrogen produced is intended for multiple uses such as fuel, energy storage, and facilitating clean transportation solutions. This innovative approach claims to enhance energy efficiency while contributing to a significant reduction in carbon emissions and promoting environmental conservation.

This collaboration is expected to invigorate initiatives related to clean energy and green mobility in the Indian state. A significant Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Uttar Pradesh government and Yamanashi Prefecture regarding the development of green hydrogen technology.

This agreement includes provisions for students from Uttar Pradesh to receive advanced technical training in Japan, further solidifying ties between the two regions. CM Adityanath characterized the agreement as an important step for reinforcing bilateral relations and cooperation in this emerging sector.
