Green Hydrogen Vision

Fiji envisions green hydrogen as a pivotal element in transitioning to a sustainable, low-carbon economy, leveraging its abundant renewable energy resources, particularly solar and hydropower. The country aims to utilise green hydrogen to decarbonise sectors like transportation, industry, and power generation while enhancing energy security and reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels. Through strategic partnerships and investments in technology and infrastructure, Fiji seeks to develop a green hydrogen ecosystem to meet domestic and regional energy needs, drive economic growth, create jobs, and contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts.

Project Spotlight

Obayashi Corporation, in collaboration with its subsidiary Halcyon Power Limited and Fiji Gas Pte Limited, has initiated a demonstration project to transport geothermal-sourced green hydrogen from New Zealand to Fiji for fuel in a hydrogen/diesel dual-fuel generator. This Demonstration Project was selected for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Financing Support Programme: "Pilot project for comprehensive support throughout the whole hydrogen supply chain abroad" for FY2022, under the auspices of Japan's Ministry of the Environment. The project entails producing green hydrogen from geothermal energy at Halcyon Power's facility in Taupo, New Zealand, then shipping it from the Port of Auckland to the Port of Lautoka, Fiji. The green hydrogen imported to Fiji will power a dual-fuel generator installed at Fiji Gas's LPG Terminal to generate electricity.
