USAID to support Uzbekistan’s first green hydrogen hub

In Uzbekistan, the US Embassy in Uzbekistan reported that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) introduced a new initiative to support the development of a Green Hydrogen Hub in the country. Uzbekistan set a 25% target for renewable energy generation by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. To support the government’s efforts to achieve these goals, USAID is working with the Ministry of Energy and energy sector stakeholders to launch a Green Hydrogen Hub. The Hub will help improve the energy sector workforce’s expertise in emerging clean energy technologies to contribute to Uzbekistan’s “Strategy for the Development of Renewable and Hydrogen Energy”. The Green Hydrogen Hub concept will assess key aspects to successful implementation including renewable energy potential, water availability, clean hydrogen production methods, and export potential, the US Embassy said.
