Jamaica Launches Green Hydrogen Project to Boost Clean Energy

Fuel Cells Works | July 2, 2025

Jamaica’s drive to expand clean energy generation is poised for a major boost with the launch of a regional initiative that will advance the development of a national green hydrogen strategy and roadmap.

Green hydrogen is produced using electricity from renewable sources such as solar or wind, resulting in little to no greenhouse gas emissions – making it a truly clean energy carrier.

The ‘Advancing a Regional Approach Towards the Green Hydrogen Economy in Latin America and the Caribbean’ Project is being implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

It aims to create an enabling environment to foster the development of the regional green hydrogen economy and build the capacity of participating countries to attract investment, develop policies and implement strategic projects.

The project acknowledges green hydrogen’s potential to decarbonise key sectors and advance sustainable development across the region.

It has been welcomed by Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation with Responsibility for Water, Environment, Climate Change, and the Blue and Green Economies, Hon. Matthew Samuda, who described its implementation as a national milestone.

In his remarks during the project launch and workshop at the Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel in Kingston on Tuesday (July 1), Mr. Samuda pointed out that as a small island developing state, facing mounting climate threats, it is imperative that Jamaica explore innovative climate solutions that are practical and transformative...more

This while Donald Dump said AGAIN - Hydrogen Cars BLOW UP- while ending most remaining H2 R&D programs in the USA

Green H2 - -Even Jamaica knows H2 is the future as the United States of Arrogance and Hegemony sinks into the abyss.

Because - Jamaica! Here's the best ever version of "Get Up Stand UP" by Bob Marley with Peter Tosh at a private session at Capitol Records in LA 1973. Absolutely astounding.

Happily for the environment the scam has never resulted in an actual "hydrogen economy" because the laws of thermodynamics under all circumstances preclude the wasteful exercise pushed by the fossil fuel industry from ever being either economically or environmentally sustainable.

For the next half a century the same bullshit will be hyped with the same result. It's rather like fusion energy in this respect, lots of noise with no practical result.
