CM Adityanath Explores Clean Energy Operations in Japan

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday visited an advanced hydrogen energy plant in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, to observe its cutting-edge clean energy operations. During the visit, he closely examined the plant's power-to-gas system and received detailed insights from experts on its functioning. The system converts electricity generated from renewable sources such as solar and wind into hydrogen, which is then used for fuel, energy storage, and clean transportation. This process not only supports energy efficiency but also contributes to reducing carbon emissions and environmental conservation.

Appreciating the initiative taken in Yamanashi, the Chief Minister said, "Green hydrogen can become a crucial foundation of future energy. It represents an effective model for clean energy and green development. The Uttar Pradesh government is also taking concrete steps to promote green hydrogen, solar energy and other clean energy sources". He added that the state is encouraging industrial investment, research, and adoption of new technologies to become self-reliant in energy production while maintaining environmental responsibility.

The Chief Minister's visit is being regarded as an important step toward strengthening technical cooperation with Japan. It is expected to give new momentum to clean energy and green mobility projects in Uttar Pradesh.
