In this regard, the Sindh government has issued a letter of intent for the project’s establishment and has also granted 7000 acres of land near the Gharo Jhimpir wind corridor in Thattha.

Imtiaz Ahmed Shaikh, the Sindh Energy Minister, stated while holding a meeting on this green hydrogen project that is likely to create thousands of jobs in the province.

“Sindh government has issued the Letter of Intent for the project and 7,000 acres of land has been allotted for the project at Gharo in Thatta district,” provincial energy minister stated.

It is worth mentioning here that the Sindh government had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with a Chinese company for the construction of the country’s first green hydrogen project in October 2021.

Green hydrogen is the name given to hydrogen gas that has been produced using renewable energy, such as wind or solar power, which create no greenhouse gas emissions.

Green hydrogen is obtained through electrolysis powered by renewable electricity, generated through technologies such as solar panels or wind turbines.

Hydrogen gas can be used as a fuel in transportation, power generation and industrial activities. It does not release greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide when it is burned.
