Green hydrogen — produced from renewable sources
Green hydrogen — produced from renewable sources such as solar and wind energy — is seen as a key component of clean energy transitions because it emits zero carbon when used. The collaboration aims to accelerate Uttar Pradesh’s adoption of this technology across multiple sectors, including industry, transport and energy, aligning with broader national goals of sustainable development and contributing toward India’s Net Zero target.
Officials said that beyond student training, the deal opens pathways for deeper research and innovation cooperation between universities and industries in both regions. The partnership is expected to strengthen workforce capabilities in advanced energy technologies and deepen technological ties between India and Japan, laying the groundwork for future investment and knowledge exchange.
This initiative comes amid a successful foreign outreach by the Uttar Pradesh government, which has secured significant investment commitments during the Japan-Singapore tour. The state is actively promoting green energy, digital innovation, and manufacturing collaborations as part of its strategy to become a leading global investment destination.
Officials said that these training programs and technology transfers are expected to help Uttar Pradesh leapfrog into next-generation energy solutions, support clean mobility objectives, and expand student exposure to international research environments. Implementation timelines and institutional partnerships for the training components will be announced in the coming months.
