Sri Lanka ignites green hydrogen push
Sri Lanka has stepped in to implement Green Hydrogen and Ammonia projects, with the Board of Investment (BOI) inviting Requests for Information (RFI) till June 5, 2026.
The government has given priority to these projects for export and energy storage, targeting 70 per cent renewable energy by 2030.
The Ministry of Energy and the BOI are accepting information for green hydrogen/ammonia project development.
The feasibility studies with partners like Greenstat Hydrogen have evolved into concrete plans for Green Mobility pilots and the establishment of a Centre of Excellence for Hydrogen at the University of Peradeniya (MoU signed on March 2025).
A National Policy on Renewable Hydrogen in Sri Lanka is in place, drafted by the Ministry of Energy with Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA), and UNDP to govern production, storage, and export, a senior BOI official told the Sunday Times Biasness.
The government plans to develop “green hydrogen hubs” to harness high renewable energy capacity for future energy exports. Projects aim to use surplus solar and wind power, strengthening energy security and enabling decarbonisation. The initiatives are supported by research, to build a safe, robust hydrogen ecosystem
The National Policy aims to establish the country as a green hydrogen economy by focusing on solar/wind-driven production, storage, and export via green ammonia and methanol, an energy ministry report revealed.
A plan that would see a total of 30 GW electrolyser capacity reached by 2048 in order to reach carbon neutrality is being made with adequate regulation in place for safety measures and investment purposes.
Renewable Hydrogen or Green Hydrogen is the type of hydrogen generated through renewable energy sources.
