Dr. Irfan Ahmad Gondal, Chairperson Mechanical Engineering Technology participated in the said workshop.
For achieving a low-carbon economy and sustainable energy future, Pakistan is set to launch its first comprehensive green hydrogen initiative under the Global Clean Hydrogen Programme. Titled “Decarbonization through Innovative Clean Hydrogen Technology in Pakistan,” this pioneering project is a collaborative effort being spearheaded by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) with funding support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) under its GEF-8 cycle.
This national-level Stakeholder Consultation and Validation Workshop played a pivotal role in shaping the comprehensive green hydrogen initiative. This significant event brought together a diverse group of experts and stakeholders from government, academia, industry, and international development organizations. It provided a crucial platform to align national priorities with global clean energy goals, fostering rich dialogue and collaborative strategy building.
Participants in the workshop, representing a wide range of disciplines, shared their expertise. This underscored the interdisciplinary nature of the challenge and opportunity of decarbonization in Pakistan, highlighting the need for diverse perspectives and collaborative solutions.
“This initiative reflects not just a shift in energy policy but a broader transformation in how we integrate innovation and sustainability into national development,” said a workshop representative. “It’s a message that Pakistan is ready to lead with science and collaboration.”
The clean hydrogen project not only advances technological innovation, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and fosters inclusive green growth, but also holds the potential to become a blueprint for other developing nations navigating energy transitions, instilling hope for a greener future.
With this milestone, Pakistan moves closer to aligning with its global climate commitments, reinforcing its position as an emerging leader in clean energy adoption and environmental responsibility.
The workshop validated not just a project but also a vision of a greener, more resilient Pakistan.
