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.

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.

"We're sick and tired of your bullshit games
It's not all that glitter is gold
Half the story has never been told
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
and now you see the light"
